this guide is for new cgs in the agere/cglre community!
first of all, being a cg is a very big responsibility and it means you’re going to be taking a lot of care of your little. remember they’re in the mindset of a child, think of it as you’re taking care of a child.
there are many things you can do for your little! such as
baby talking them (huge huge part of being a cg! talk to them as if they are their little age range),calling them pet names (they make littles melt), learning about their stuffies !!! (remembering their names is really important!),learn what they like (tv shows, fav stuffies, comfort items, games),do “big kid” things for them (tying shoes, ordering food, etc), engage in what they do while regressed (watching shows, play with stuffies, read them stories, cool for them)
checking up on your little is a very important part of having one! make sure you set rules for your little and check up each day on if they’re following them. rules should be helpful for the health of littles, such as eating or drinking enough or taking meds. make sure the rules are reasonable and have equally as reasonable punishments. remember! punishments should NEVER be physical! punishments should only also be helpful to the health of your little.
i regress because i am a teenager who did not get the chance to experience a childhood.
i had a traumatic, abusive childhood where i watched my mother figure die, all between the ages of 6-10. there was no money in the house, because of constant medical attention. there wasn’t really the chance to be a child, not when you’re 8 and calling ambulances and spending days with the person you love most in the hospital.
age regression is the way i get to have my dream childhood, it’s the only real way i get one at all.
I just got back from my schools mini field trip to the park, it was so fun!! Me and my friend who also regresses were playing together on the slide ☺️ it was my first time regressing in a while, I hope to do it again soon :D
You can ask me about it in my asks if you’re bored :)
Having anger issues, especially if you’re little can be draining and exhausting (- from the Little who suffers from severeanger issues)
Do NOT yell at them or punish them!! Yelling at/punishing your little can make things worse! Know that your little one CANNOT control their anger and doing things like this can only increase their anger and/or make them feel guilty
Talk to them! Sit down with them and try to talk to them about what’s making them upset. Please note that your little one might not always answer you, if their anger issues are severe or if in the middle of a temper tantrum. So be patient and understanding
Try to distract them! Keeping your little one’s mind occupied can help their anger to go away! Examples: doing things they enjoy, making them their favourite food, taking them to places they like… many options!
Making them laugh! Try and do something funny!! Something that’d make them 100% laugh! They might try to deny it at first, but if you keep going - they’ll burst into laughter xD <33
Give them a piece of paper and let them write down all of the stuff that’s making them upset! Some littles might be having troubles expressing their emotions through words, so writing is a good option!
Let them let it all out!! This is a perfect and the best option! (in my opinion)! giving the space to your little one to express their feelings always works! sometimes we all need to let all our troubles and feelings out!
