My biggest advice for age regressors

I’ve been an age regressor for almost 8 years, started in my teenager years and now i’m an adult. There’s many things I look back and think I shouldn’t have done that so I want to put the advice out there. As well as things i’ve witnessed within the community that worries me, so i’ve added some of those also🥰

🩵 Be careful who you let be your caregiver, especially online. Not everyone has good intentions or your best interest at heart. People online may be apart of other communities that will sexualise agere.

🩵 Be careful who you tell about you being an age regressor. Your safety is the most important thing, and you don’t have to tell people about your agere. Unfortunately not everyone will take it well and it’s not worth it to risk your safety.

🩵 If you want to share your agere with someone, make sure it’s someone you have known for a while, someone you know you can 100% trust.

🩵 Take the time to find a caregiver. I’ve seen so many age regressors commenting on posts asking strangers to be their caregiver. It’s not safe, especially when you go into little space because you’ll be more vulnerable. You do not know their intentions. Take the time to get to know the person before you consider letting them into your little space world or letting them be your caregiver.

🩵 You do not need a caregiver to be an age regressor. You are valid without one.

🩵 Don’t pressure people into being your caregiver. For example, if you’re in a relationship or have a friend etc, that you’ve opened up to about your agere, they have no obligation to be a part of your agere. Yes you can ask them if they would be a part of it or be your caregiver, but if they say no, then that’s the end of it.

🩵 Insure to regress in a safe environment. For example, school and work, is not the time to age regress. I understand sometimes it’s involuntary but it’s important to try and keep your agere out of these places. Another example, ensuring you are not in a place you’d get hurt by the space around you or people around you.

🩵 Be wary of power dynamics. Things like rewarding good behaviour or behaviour charts may work for some age regressors and caregivers. However, in my opinion caregivers should not be dishing out punishments. Age regression is usually used as a way to cope with trauma and being punished could tarnish that safe space. I understand the caregiver may need to intervene if the age regressor is doing something unsafe, but should be done carefully and redirect the age regressor to something safe.

🩵 Big age gaps between the age regressor and caregiver, especially with minors. i’ve seen so many people in the community that are under the age of 18, that are asking people over the age of 18 to be there caregiver. This just is not safe. In my opinion, those under the age of 18 should not be looking for caregivers online. There are so many predators and bad people in the world and it’s not worth it.

🩵 Fake agere caregivers that try to make it more physical. Kissing or spanking etc. Trying to push boundaries that are actually kink and not agere.

🩵 Look out for cross taggers. Some may be unintentional due to misunderstanding what certain terms mean. However, it’s better to avoid these accounts completely as it’s a red flag, and they may have bad intentions.

🩵 Similarly to my last point, be careful with people who claim to be an agere but use kink terms. For example - switch, aftercare, collaring, safe word.

🩵 Be careful who you send images of your age regression to. Images last forever, and if you don’t want people seeing those images then you need to be careful who you send them to. Especially if it’s a risk to your home or career.

🩵 Setting clear boundaries with people who know about your age regression or who you allow into your age regression. For example - are they allowed to talk about your agere to other people? are certain topics not to be brought up while you’re regressed? are you comfortable being hugged or kissed on the forehead while regressed?

🩵 In relation to my last point, cutting people out of your agere and your life if they don’t respect your boundaries and break boundaries you’ve set with them.

🩵 Be open and communicate with people you bring into your agere. I understand it can be confusing for the age regressor but think how confusing it can be for a care giver or friend that hasn’t regressed before themselves. They won’t know what it’s like or what you need if you don’t communicate.

🩵 Be more appreciative of the people that take care of you during agere. Looking after an agere can be hard work, and overwhelming. Make sure they know how grateful you are and return that same care and affection back to them (in ways you are comfortable).

Tips for agere caregivers from an age regressor

I’ve been an age regressor for almost 8 years, and has the same caregiver for almost 5 years. My caregiver wasn’t one prior and became one to look after me, so these are so tips I came up with. Not everything will be relevant to everyone, everyone is different and had different dynamics.

🤍 Give yourself time to think about whether you want to be a caregiver. I understand some people find out their partner is an agere and wants to help, but being a caregiver isn’t for everybody. Do you have the time to be there? Do you have the drive to nurture and protect? Do you understand what an age regressor is?

🤍 Do some research. Learn about age regression, what it is and the benefits.

🤍 Talk to the age regressor. What would change between you? What are the expectations? What does being an age regressor mean to them? What would they need from a caregiver.

🤍 Boundaries, for both the caregiver and age regressor. What’s off limits? What are you happy with or what would make you uncomfortable? Are certain conversations and topics off limits while regressed? Does the age regressor always need the caregiver or do they like to have little space alone sometimes? Are forehead kisses or hugs okay?

🤍 Triggers - Discuss possible triggers so you can avoid them while they're regressed.

🤍 Amount of time regressed. Discuss how often the age regressor goes into little space, how much of that time they’d like the caregiver to be there for little space. How long do they stay regressed each time? Do they want help trying to stay regressed longer?

🤍 Little space and big space. Discuss what things stay in little space and what things stay in big space. Some age regressors may get embarrassed if you mention what they did in little space while they’re big. Some things are only for when you’re big and some for when you’re in little space. (The same way you wouldn’t discuss/do certain things with a child)

🤍 If you already have an existing relationship (Ex. partner, friend, family member), it’s important to discuss what would happen if things don’t work out with you becoming a caregiver.

🤍 NEVER sexualise their little space (regardless if you’re their romantic partner when they’re big). All age regressors do it for a reason, all age regressors deserve to keep their little space a safe space.

🤍 While the age regressor is in little space, make sure they’re in a safe environment to do so, both mentally and physically. For example, work is not appropriate for them to be in little space, so reassure them they can have little space after work. Or if they’re with family who don’t know about agere.

🤍 Maybe prepare a key word that either of you could say if you’re getting overwhelmed. By using a keyword it will make it easier for the age regressor to communicate and understand. Then when the age regressor is out of little space the issue can be discussed and resolved.

Now you know that you want to try being a caregiver, get to know them as an age regressor.

🖤 Be gentle and sensitive - A lot of age regressors use it as a coping mechanism for trauma or stress.

🖤 Be helpful - Depending on the regressors age range, they may need a lot of help. Be there to help your little one for tasks they may find difficult. Like tying their shoes, or cooking food for them, pouring them drinks etc.

🖤 Activities - Learn what your little one enjoys doing when they're small. Do they like colouring? Or watching cartoons? Learn what shows they like, foods they like to eat, drinks they like etc.

🖤 Keeping your little small - Some littles struggle with staying regressed, so learn how to keep them regressed for longer. Does baby talk make them feel tiny? or helping them do tasks? Cartoons? Toys and games?

🖤 Get to know the way the age regressor talks. Some regressors may change words for things. For example, while i’m regressed -

sleepies = sleep

kikky = cat

da = the

🖤 Some age regressors may be non-verbal.

🖤 All caregivers will make mistakes, so don't feel bad if something doesn't go well at first. You're doing an amazing job and you'll be making your little one feel so special and safe.

🖤 If you are unsure about something talk to the age regressor about it when they are out of little space to resolve it.
