i'm gonna be a tad bit inactive on this account for a moment, at least in terms of sharing my personal regression stuff since i've been getting uncomfy and odd asks and comments !

i'll still be active on @little-leaf-daycare though !

this is just for my own mental health and i want tumblr to stay a positive space for me to share my own experience <3 just a quick reminder to not police other's regression based on how you perceive or understand it ! everyone is different and has their own experiences, and no one's regression is any less valid than someone else's! lots of love <3

All your tips are so super helpful!! Any tips for cg’s and their middle regressors who are fussy but still need to wear their diapers? Or tips for all regressors in general?

thank you so much for the kind words!

i'm not too versed in the world of padded regression, but i have struggled with minor incontinence my entire life because of medical issues so i hope i can help!

i think it'd be beneficial for your middle regressor to not label it as a diaper! using other words like "safe undies" or even pull-ups can help remove that babying stigma of the word diaper. even using period undies can help a lot because they aren't as bulky as diapers, but they might require more frequent changing, so use what works! this has definitely helped me a lot growing up as i navigated the shame around needing to wear pull-ups and diapers when i felt "too old" for them!

also allowing your middle to pick out these own designs on the diapers/pull-ups or even going with plain ones so that they don't feel too stereotypical!

if your middle is still a little fussy and hesistant about wearing diapers, i think having a long and encouraging talk about it with them could help to reach a compromise. it's easy to just say "you have to wear these because you need them"! i think reassuring them that they are still a big kid and independent even if they need to use a diaper could help a lot. just really building up their confidence can go a long way.

finding what works for you is all about trial and error <3 i'm wishing you and your little the best of luck and i hope this helped a least a bit! <3

how age regression has helped my relationship with food 💗🥪

tw / food (pos) / all of these things are things you can do while big, but this is my personal experience relating to agere! (pics are mine)

- making my meals cute has made eating more fun and engaging!

things like getting to play around with shapes when preparing fruits and veggies, adding in hearts and sprinkles to my meals, making faces and friends out of food has made eating so fun and less of a chore! also using cute plates, lunchboxes, and utensils!

- my food doesnt have to make sense to anyone but myself!

i am finding a lot of liberation in eating the weirdest food combinations without caring about it if seems weird or out of the norm! age regression has helped me be more carefree about my food choices!

- age regression has helped me remember new foods i used to like as a kid that i "grew out of" as i got older!

rediscovering kids meals and dishes that i used to love when i was bodily younger has gifted me with lovely nostalgia. and now that i'm bodily older, i can tweak the dishes with my own autonomy to make them fit my taste exactly! and there's no pressure to eat everything or to not ask for more! i can do what feels right to me.

- i'm not focused on what's healthy, but rather what makes me happy!

age regression has brought me so much joy when it comes to food. i love eating silly snacks, cute desserts, big meals, small meals, and just listening to my body! i'm able to buy all the snacks and food i wasn't able to eat when i was younger, and it feels so amazing to be able to give myself the childhood i didn't have.

i love to think of the most random characters as cgs.. like johnny from hotel transylvania would be such a fun cg omg

yup!!! ever since my chemotherapy as a child, i've been regressing and my goodness it's been a long journey, but i'm glad that i have a name for it now and a support system that understands and accepts me for who i am 💗

popping out of the woodworks to give a little shoutout to all the regressors who've been regressing since they were little. i've personally been regressing my whole life since about five years old! it's one of the coping mechanisms that's stuck with me thru my whole life. just wanted to say you guys are cool.

Learning with a carer ..

Sitting down and learning flashcards , or doing workbooks with a carer .. "and can you tell me what animals this is little love" and I'd just bable and say what animal it is ,, feeling so small and tiny just around 4 or so , but big enough to learn kiddo things , the carer congratulates me on getting the animal right , if I get it wrong that's okay to , I'm still just a tiny baby after all .. snd babys don't need to think <3 my only job is to be tiny and happy an sweet .. the carer putting more flashcards in front of me , I bable and say the animals name ! I got it right again my carer coos "such a smart kid, you are"

(I WANT A CARER SO BAD:(( )
