It has come to my attention that online safety is not taught, so I wanted to put together a compiled version of some helpful information I know and have gathered for my fellow regressors. I hope this helps someone!

Jason Todd Mood Board!! (Plus little headcannon to go along with it :3)

-I feel like Jason would be the type of little that would love blanket forts, fairy lights, and reading stories.

- Like just image him in his pjs wish a sippy full of tea (that Alfred made) and a bunch of old children books in the middle of a little blanket fort in the manor.

- The spots he likes to make his fort I feel like are mostly around Alfred. So under tables in the kitchen with a pallet under him and in whatever room the butler is gravitating towards that day.

-Alfred also helps him put up fairy lights and/or plug in night lights to light up his forts. Jason loves the twinkle and doesn't like the dark so it's a win-win.

I just feel like Jason likes to be cozy and read when tiny and big.

Have a great day/night/evening!!

Could you please make Toddler Regressor Spencer Reid with Caregiver Derek Morgan headcanons???

- 🐧 anon

Oh I love this! Thank you for the prompt, and sorry for the wait.

It's been a while since I've re-watched the show, I only got to season 2 or 3, so I'm also sorry if they feel ooc. Hope you enjoy!!

Toddler Regressor Spencer Reid & Caregiver Derek Morgan headcanons

🔍 If Spencer regresses while the team's out for food, Derek will order for him

🗂️ There have been a handful of times Spencer regressed while on a case, and Derek had to pull him aside few little bit

Usually Spencer just cries into Derek's shoulder. They never really speak of it but Spencer feels so guilt and Derek (knowing him) reminds him; that to regress means he can work his best on a case

📰 Everyone on the team knows Spencer is a age regressor and Derek his caregiver, but no one will mention it, unless the two bring it up. Which is rare, like really rare.

📸 In the early days of their dynamic, Derek suggested bring some type of little gear while they're on a case, but Spencer refused.

Derek decided to take the matter into his hands and pack some little gear (stuffed animal and sippy, which later added a blanket and a change of comfy clothes). Now Spencer also brings some little gear, Derek's was turned into the backup gear

🔍 They have a secret signal for an age check (Derek) and a age drop (Spencer)

🗂️ Sometimes on the plane ride, Spencer can be found napping on Derek's shoulder as he reads a story to him

📰 When Derek is busy and can't take care of Spencer he asks Penelope to care for him. She loves it! they get into so much mischief together

📸 One time on a case a witness/suspect noticed Spencer's different behavior and called him out for it in a really nasty way, Derek punched the person braking their nose, he wore that benched title like a badge of honor, and stayed as close a he could to Spencer for the rest of the case even while benched

🧸 Spencer needs to stay stimulated, so he plays with Lincoln Logs and Lego Duplos while watching The Magic School Bus, Sid the Science Kid, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum and/or good ol' Sesame Street depending on his age

🧩 Derek calls Spencer "Bud", "Buddy", "Kid(do)" and "Lil' Man" the most; sometimes "Smarty Pants" when Spencer corrects Derek, the nickname gets Spencer giggling

🖍️ Derek knows Spencer doesn't like his food touching, and puts his food in separate bowls/plates or like those plates that have dividers

🧃 Some days Spencer will go nonverbal, and just play with a Rubik's Cube making patterns (it can get boring solving it after a while) or doing a large jigsaw puzzle that takes up the dining room table for a few weeks

🧸 Derek got Spencer a medium sized teddy bear when he found out Spencer was an age regressor. It was for that action (among other) that made Spencer start to see Derek as a (possible, he would force his friend into the role) caregiver!

🧩 Due to working out so much, Derek is able to carry Spencer around whenever

Spencer was apprehensive at first but after Derek carrying a few times, he fell in love with that way to travel, and lets Derek carry him everywhere at their place

🖍️ Some nights when both of them can't sleep, they will go to a playground and like Spencer plays and Derek isn't afraid to join him

🧃 Most times it's Spencer reminding him to eat (and feed him) but sometimes it's Derek who reminds Spencer to eat

In the early days, Derek had to teach Spencer to come to him when he's hungry instead of trying to make snacks himself

How to regress when you’ve literally never done it and you have no idea what to expect (or it’s been a while)

*turns around in chair like Captain America* so ……. you wanna be tiny.

Awesome! :D

Voluntary regression, when done intentionally, can be immensely fun and healing. Let’s get you set up for success.

Step 1: Set Your Goals

Your goal should never be “to regress” - it may not happen. You may spend all of your time just age dreaming (acting small with your big brain still in). You need to be okay with that.

The reason you’re regressing isn’t the same as your goal. “Because I’m traumatized,” “for fun,” and “for chronic pain” are all valid reasons, but they don’t provide you with the framework for healing that we’re looking for.

Here are some specific, achievable goals:

“I want to relax and have uninterrupted fun after a long day.”

“I want to reparent my inner child through affirmation work, gentle parenting, and rules for self-care.”

“I want to work through trauma I’ve experienced through play so I can experiment with new outcomes for tough situations.”

“I want to complete easy tasks/assignments to give myself a sense of pride and accomplishment.”

“I want to allow myself to trust and be cared for in a way that I am usually resistant to.”

“I want to allow Jesus to speak to me when I feel most vulnerable and receptive to His kindness.”

“I want to improve my self/care habits by making them fun and digestible.”

“I want to revisit childhood/deep-rooted fears so I can work through them with effective coping mechanisms, like journaling.”

Step 2: Selecting Your Tools

Here, you might have seen lists of things that people like to use when they’re little, but rarely do they explain why they like to use them. These lists also may not resonate with older or alternative regressors.

So instead, I will give you categories of things that I believe are relevant to regression, and you fill decide what satisfies it best for you.

Something to wear: do you have clothing that is easy and comfortable to move around in, makes you feel good to wear, and/or gives you sensory input you crave?

Something to watch: do you know of a show, movie, or YouTube channel that holds good memories for you? Is there one out there that piques your interest? It doesn’t have to be “kid-friendly,” but its effect should be comfort and peace, not intellectual or emotional strain. We are not looking for challenge - that is for developing your grownup brain. Many regressors prefer kids media for this reason.

Something to do (with your hands): Stimulating senses other than sight is vital for grounding, especially in today’s online world … and, considering the nature of the work we are doing, you may need it. Painting, sensory sand, going to the beach, swimming, making music, woodworking, crocheting, polymer clay, diamond painting, puzzles, coloring books, and more can all bring out your inner child. Again, we are looking for joy, not challenge; perhaps your local dollar store has a craft kit!

Something to read: are you a scientist who loves learning about animals? A horror fan who loves spooky tales? Do you remember a series from your childhood that brought you joy? Reading is a great way to escape into a simpler world and evade screens, especially if it’s crafted without profanity or triggering subjects. Children’s books may also minister to you in ways that adults failed, such as teaching emotional regulation, socialization, and how to fight common fears.

Something to hold: plushies have been proven to be beneficial for mental health, but a companion doesn’t have to be stuffed! Action figures, dolls, and other friends can be thrifted, bought, or dug up from closets. They provide sounding boards for scary thoughts that get less scary when said aloud, companionship during play, travel, or sleep, and serve as willing recipients of your creative outputs (bracelets, clothing, drawings, etc). And, when you need a hug, your favorite toy can be right there with you in the absence of a human friend.

Something to nibble: food is fuel for the body, but it is also love. Choose foods that are nutritious and fun, just like you’d give a child. My personal faves are Slim Jim’s, pepperoni, berries, nuts, dairy, and veggies with dip. Treats are great too, but spend your tummy bank on nutritionally valuable food first! Regressors also find fun in experimenting with different vessels for food and drinks, like crazy straws, bottles, ZooPals plates, or character dining sets.

Something to play with: ‘play’ has many definitions and types. Below is a short list of types of play. No matter if you like toys or not, gather objects or activities that encourage play.

Symbolic play - using one object to represent another (i.e. a flower becomes a wand - try blocks or play scarves)

Locomotor play - moving play (try roller skates, online exercises/dance classes, or small exercise trampolines)

Creative play - invoking a desired or experimental outcome (try Legos and art supplies)

Deep play and rough-and-tumble play - play that involves bodily risk and movement (try hiking, rock climbing, or swimming)

Dramatic play - orchestrating play without personal involvement (“setting up” elaborate scenes with toys was a big part of my childhood play! Try small toys and accessories like Calico Critters, stuffed animals, or dolls)

Exploratory play - play to gain information (try boxed or homemade science experiments, or simply asking, “I wonder what happens if I …?”)

Fantasy and imaginative play - playing in a way that is unlikely to occur in real life and/or the rules have changed (try dressing up to be a superhero, royalty, animal, etc)

Mastery play - bringing a task to completion (build a campfire, dig holes in sand to fill with water, complete a video game level, etc)

Object play - manipulating objects to learn more about them (common in developing babies and autistic stimming; try fidget toys)

Socio-dramatic play - taking on a role that involves social interaction (I.e. playing house or doctor)

Somewhere to go: novelty can be hugely effective in delighting your inner child. Try hanging out in the backyard, going to a park/museum/aquarium, taking yourself on a “little” shopping spree with a set budget, going to a theme park/state fair, or checking out kids media from your local library. Since you are exiting your safe space, you must be mindful of those around you. This is why I usually recommend this to those who know they will only be age dreaming, unless they are completely alone. For your safety, please do not involve anyone who has not consented in your regression.

Something to see: if you can, decorate your safe space or a portion of your safe space in a way that makes your inner child happy. Try changing your phone wallpaper, collecting figures, displaying stuffies on your bed, putting up wall stickers or drawings you’ve made, or changing your bed sheets.

A note on pacifiers: pacis made for adults are a great way to abate thumb-sucking and unhealthy oral stims. They will shift your teeth only if you use them excessively; try limiting use to an hour at a time, and always wear your retainer if you have one. If you feel pain, stop. Disassemble and clean immediately after use.

A note on diapers: I personally do not use diapers because I don’t want or need them, but should you choose differently, there are lots of creators who have more information on them. Most importantly, they are not shameful.

Step 3: Meeting Your Inner Child

How do you know when you’ve regressed?

When play takes over.

When you find yourself fully engaged in what’s in front of you, finding captivation in the simplest things, you are regressed. It isn’t some magical transformation - you’re just revising a part of you that has always been there, latent. It is an unlocking of childhood whimsy … a state of being easily awed.

Thoughts may simplify; adult reasoning for comfort objects may reduce to a petulant mine. Anxious spirals may be replaced by a simple mama, I’m scared. Thoughtful analyses of character arcs and subplots may sound more like yay, ponies!

If you have an internal monologue, it may disappear, replaced with more primal emotions like “angry” or “scared” or “happy” or “calm.” There have been many times that my husband has asked little me what’s wrong, but instead of words, only sobs make it out of my mouth. Then, when he holds me, a warmth I can’t name fills my chest and makes me sleepy.

What is your inner child like? Are they more or less …

Sensitive?

Chatty?

Energetic?

Creative?

Impulsive?

Experimental?

Outspoken?

Stubborn?

Relaxed?

Giggly?

Curious?

Focused?

Defiant?

Angry?

Expressive?

Your inner child, like all children, is subject to fits and flights of fancy. This is normal! Love them as you would love a normal child.

Step Four: Caring For The Bunchkin

Since our goal is not to regress, we have the freedom to take a third-person point of view while we are in our safe space, check in on ourselves, and see how we are doing.

If your goal is to heal, take things slow. Choose one activity at a time that allows you to explore your deeper thoughts, and allow ample room for fun and relaxation.

Instead of focusing on your trauma and hurt, start by asking yourself - “what are my deepest desires? What am I lacking? What is important to me? What can I give myself that I did not receive?”

Kids’ “About Me” worksheets are a great place to start, since there are no wrong answers. As you get more comfortable being small, try making or completing worksheets that ask the weightier questions.

Caring for with your inner child can be as simple as imagining them like another person. For example:

If you are shameful of your desire to connect with an old fandom, ask yourself why that might be. Did someone tell you that it was shameful? Did you have a bad experience in that fandom? Were you at a turbulent point of your life? What might you say to a child experiencing these emotions now?

If you are reluctant to make noise or take up space, ask yourself why. Did someone tell you that you were ‘too much?’ Were you afraid to be judged? Did someone punish you for getting in their way? What would you say to a child afraid to take up space in your presence?

If you are distressed at the idea of stimming openly while small, ask yourself why. Did someone - or life experience - teach you to mask? Are you afraid of being judged as a “faker?” Are you afraid of looking or feeling incapable in some way? What would you say to a child who is afraid to stim?

If you are upset with yourself for reacting to a trigger, ask yourself why. Do you feel like you should be more healed, or more in control of yourself? Are you afraid of slipping back towards a state you used to be in? Are you afraid of re-experiencing trauma?

What would you say and do for a child who struggles with a trigger?

Showing your little self compassion and modeling joy from an adult headspace is vital. Don’t say anything to your inner child that you wouldn’t say to an actual child.

You may not be quite ready to believe the healing truths you have learned when you are big, but putting them into practice when you are small is a great way to soothe yourself from the inside out.

(I filled up my star chart by making my bed each day! Good job, me! I worked so hard, and now I get a treat!)

(I did a drawing all by myself! I can put it on my fridge now. Wow, I’m so glad I made something today.)

(I went outside, and there are so many cool things to see! What an awesome world I live in.)

Healing can be tough, but it’s so fantastic. It all starts with being kind to yourself. You can do it!

Step 5 - Putting Out Fires

Oh dear, something went wrong, and now a tantrum is afoot. Or a meltdown. Or a flashback. What do we do?

Hold up your fingers like birthday candles and blow them out to encourage deep breathing.

Play a song that makes you feel good, and dance if you can. Physical movement is your best antidote.

Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.

Repeat your affirmations aloud. There is power in hearing something that isn’t your own mental hurricane. “I am loved, I am safe, I am going to be okay.”

Assign the trigger to a stuffie (don’t worry, they are willing participants!). Say, “hey, wait a minute, why should you be in charge? These are MY thoughts! Take that! And that! And that!” Toss your stuffie around and get those crazy thoughts away from both of you!

Assign the trigger to a stuffie, and pretend they are you. What would you say to calm them down and tell them you are here for them?

Get a change of scenery. Go outside, go somewhere else, take a shower or bubble bath.

Scribble your feelings on paper. No, really, go ham. Break some crayons. Then crumple them, tear them, and throw them away.

Most importantly - don’t be mad at yourself.

The debrief - what can we do for next time?

Handle triggers with care, but don’t be afraid of the feelings that accompany them. There is an unmet need somewhere in your soul - what is it, and how can you meet it?

Journaling and affirmations - record what happened and why you think it happened, and then write kind things to and about yourself.

“Do it scared” - push past the lies you have been told about yourself and enjoy things anyway.

I am a Christian, and I live by the phrase: “if it isn’t your reality, make it your prayer.” Even if you don’t believe now that you are safe, loved, and capable, saying these things to yourself constantly will help them be realized.

Obviously, avoiding negative language about yourself in your adult life is the other half of the pizza. Your inner child is doing work for adult you, too! Don’t undermine it!

The Wrap Up

Well, Kiddo, I’m so glad you’re taking this step in your healing journey. A few things to remember before you go:

You may grow out of regression! That’s good! It’s a sign that your inner child is happy and content.

You may never grow out of regression. That’s okay! Your inner child can get love all your life!

Your regression is your business. You don’t have to tell anyone about it if you don’t want to. Choose who you tell very carefully.

Ignore the haters. You’re doing great.

Bye, Kiddo! You are so loved!! 🥰

[leilabeans-agereblog]

I hear you, get up you say! Time to start another day!

[leilabeans-agereblog]

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

Unique agere writing prompts part three

CG forgets that their kiddo isn’t biologically a baby and panics when kiddo takes a full-strength pain reliever

Kiddo tells CG things in littlespace that they would NEVER say in bigspace. Sometimes it’s broken vases. Other times it’s childhood trauma.

Kiddo struggles to regress. Every time they try, the shame/feelings of awkwardness pulls them out of their headspace, and they give up, saying, “this is stupid.” (If they have a CG, what would signal that their kiddo is finally, actually regressed?)

“Kiddo” is NOT actually a regressor, but they pretend to be a kid so that CG can indulge in their headspace. “Goo goo ga ga” etc etc. it’s hilarious and honestly sometimes feels kinda nice.

Middle is a perfect angel, always doing their homework and tidying up when they’re asked to. CG isn’t sure why they want a carer at all, until the day they crack and go entirely berserk over something that seemed insignificant.

Kiddo is biologically an older person, and when they regress, they sometimes forget their body isn’t quite as spry as it used to be.

Kiddo with incontinence issues tries everything in their power to keep the others from finding out.

Middle does NOT want to be taken care of. CG does it anyway. They suppose the sandwich was pretty yummy …

Autistic kiddo/middle can only truly unmask when small.

A villain(?) has invented a regression drug/spell/treatment. How might this be used and abused in-universe?

Kiddo has no idea what littlespace is. For them it’s just Tuesday.

CG finds themselves caring for littles during a disaster or other situation where they have to remain calm for the littles’ sake.

Kiddo’s inner child is like a shoulder angel to them - a dialogue is happening in their brain. “But the parasites in me want the candy”

CG loses their little somehow. The void where they used to be is so great that they seek out support groups for parents who have lost their children.

Kiddo speaks another language when little. Chaos ensues.

CG tries to care for kiddo as a member of their own species, which kiddo is not. Chaos ensues.

Mortal enemies in bigspace, best friends in littlespace.

Mortal enemies in bigspace, CG and kiddo in littlespace.

Kiddo is much bigger or smaller than they think they are, and first-time CG is wildly unprepared.
