Age regression is a positive non-sexual coping strategy for alleviating stress, anxiety, and sometimes just for fun. What takes you back to simpler times? This is a place for people who find comfort in regressing to a younger age to express themselves in whatever way they like, and the caregivers who care for them in their regressed state.
This sub is for non-sexual age regression as a positive coping strategy for stress and anxiety. What makes you feel like a kid? This is the place for people who find comfort in regressing to a younger age. This is also the place for the non-sexual side of littlespace and middlespace.

During every day, non little space, life, I’m fine. I do my routines I deal with conflict normally. If it’s bad I may cry later but I’m usually fine.
When regressed it’s a lot different. Things like being tired can cause an outburst and I always feel dumb after. Being told ‘no’, not getting time to just regress and relax. Things like that. I feel genuinely stupid after and I was wondering if anybody else felt that way.
I have a problem with thumb sucking, which is fine but mine has gotten to the point that I bite my thumb in my sleep and it causes a whole issue. So I bought myself a pacifier in hopes of stopping that issue. :)))
i’ve never realized how much pacis have helped me calm down until now. if you’re a little who cries a lot i would really recommend them because they make me not cry and help me calm down.
ps- i’m sorry this is so random, im kinda regressed right now and it makes me silly
Small intro!:im a CG normally and I really don’t mind some friends! Maybe another CG or a little that’s not exactly looking for a cg(if looking please get to know someone first to be safe but if I can get to know you maybe i would-) either way you can call me moon and im really excited to see what happens! (This is not specifically looking for a little but like said im willing to be friends and then what happens happens!)
I have a caregiver (online) who are first they were so nice to me! Called me baby, gave me affection, made sure I ate and took my medicine, and praised me when I did good! But this past month, things haven't been so good. First they stopped asking if I ate and stuff, then they talked to me less in general, and now they no longer call me pet names or give me affection. When I asked today, they just ended the call.
I ask if I did something wrong, but they no communicate with me. One time when I was being extra clingy, they threatened to leave me because of it, without even telling me that they had a problem with it in the first place. Heck, I once asked if I should stop trying to be clingy, and they said they loved it! I don't really feel cared by them anymore. But it's either this Mami or no Mami. At this point, I don't even know what caregivers are supposed to do anymore. I have to take care of Mami more than they take care of me, and I just a baby! Any advice would be nice. If not, thank you for letting me ramble.
Hello Little Ones!
So I was looking up agere flags to see if we had decided on a flag for agere, and I came across this same flag several times.
So I wanted to know if we had all agreed to it, and if its ok to use this flag?
Thanks for any answers <3
Any suggestions? :c

I (18F) am in a long term relationship with my bf (19M). He has been my cg for about a year now, I regress to cope with stress and he is an amazing care giver for me!
Well, one night we were laying in bed together watching a TV show. He was laying in my lap and I was just scratching his head. He enjoys being held just as much as I do so we trade off. I started rubbing his back as well and he grabbed one of my stuffies and held it to his chest. I asked him to look at me and he shook his head. I asked if he could talk and he shook his head again and hid his face in the blanket. I realized he was doing exactly what I do when I’m little.
I asked him if he was little and he hesitantly nodded (he is apparently a super shy little) so I just kept holding him and we turned on a more kid-friendly movie (Rio). It was adorable!!! I’m not a very experienced cg but I hope I can do as good of a job as he does for me and I’m just super excited and wanted to share this!
TW: If dysmorphia is triggering for you please stop reading now!
So when I’m in my little headspace, I usually can’t help but either stay in bed or sat somewhere in a ball. I hate the sight of how long my arms are, or how much my body feels and looks so grown up. Is there a way that you’ve gotten over this or found something that helps you feel more comfortable?
does anyone wanna talk? i just really want to talk to some
I just got a brand new Bluey coloring book for Christmas! 💙
Does anyone else pull all nighters? Hehe it’s really hard tho cuz m sleepy
Little Quinn's age is somewhere between three and seven. I don't know that I ever actually fully regressed, older Quinn is always there to protect little Quinn. I go to the park and play a lot. I am very much in little space and feel free. At the same time, older me is also present and protecting me. If something doesn't feel right, I am able to switch back to the adult side to Protect little Quinn. When I go to little events, sometimes the switch is a bit harder. I mean switching back to adult me.
The overall question is still the same as the top.
What is age Dreamer?
How is it different than age regression, in particular, voluntary age regression?
Does anyone have a fun thing for me to try on my own? I regress between 4-9 I think and I can do lots of stuff! Just want to do something different
I don't have to fly for a couple days, but I'm asking this early.
I want to maybe regress on the flight home. I don't know if it would help or if it would make everything more scary. I mean, it can't be worse than the flight here. I had a meltdown on the plane and a flight attendant had to get me from the bathroom. I want to not have that happen. I want to just be a child. I don't know.
Tips or suggestions?
I really love agere and I've been a regressor for 3-4 years. But I hate the fact that I am basically my own caregiver.
I've had CGs before, but there is only so much they can do from the otherside of a screen,and having schedules line up exactly how I wish they could is hard, especially with school.
I wish I was able to have someone who would care for me IRL when I'm small, but the fact that I live with my parents (1, cause I'm 17, and 2 cause in this economy really???) makes it impossible to even really dream of.
Even before I started regressing I would read fanfics about agere, and I'd almost cry wishing I could be like the littles in the books that get to be little as much as they want and have someone fully take care of what they need and want.
I'm willing to answer any questions, and I understand if this is too much for anyone. I just hope this is the right place to post this.
My daddy broke up with me, but big me is on disability, so we're stuck living together until I can get approved for housing.
He broke up with me because he couldn't handle my mental health issues, even though I did my very best to explain how bad it can be. It took a year of living together, and a bad depressive episode, for him to realize that I wasn't exaggerating, and I was too much for him.
Housing can take a long time, but my ex daddy says he cares enough about me to not let me be homeless. Problem is we currently live in a small space, we have only one bed and no couch, so we still sleep in the same bed. We have too many shared spaces. Sometimes he seems like he used to towards me, but I know it's not the same.
I've tried trying my best to not regress around him, but it's hard sometimes. Little me is also upset and cautious being around him. I'm unsure how to deal with this, and it's making my mental health worse, even though it was getting better shortly before the breakup.
He talks to me like an old friend, being excited about his future plans, that make me question how long he's willing to wait for me to find a place to live. I'm scared, and little me is terrified, I have no idea how to navigate, and I'm not at a point of feeling comfortable with telling my therapist about my regression.
I have no idea how to navigate everything. Little me wants out more to distract, but big me knows I need to be out more to fill out forms and stuff for housing.
My cat is the only thing giving me reason to live, he's a bit crazy, and most people are put off by him, and my ex daddy is making future decisions that wouldn't allow for my cat's needs, even though I know they both love each other.
I don't know what to do anymore, and it's making it harder to function. I could really use advise, any ideas really, for how to continue and deal with all this.
I sometimes regress to a middle age, but she's far too angry and depressed to handle this rationally, so I'm trying to keep her at bay even more.
Hey everyone. Just to clarify I’m not an age regressor. So I’m in a group chat in Instagram and in it there is a person who claims to be an age regressor. Let’s call him H. So H regresses to age 3. He speaks like George from pepa pig saying “hewo!” “Dino!” “Me like!” “Dindin yayy!!”(for dinner) “me 3!!”. It’s so cringe and annoying. Now before y’all come at me, he is like that the whole day. He can’t possibly regress to the age of 3 for the whole damn day. He is 20. I had an argument with 2 of his friends today. They say he can’t control it. The truth is that even tho he was in the group chat chatting like a dump person who was role playing a toddler, he texted my friend normally speaking. Make it make sense. I’m not saying that age regression isn’t a thing but I am almost 100% sure that H is just acting. He can’t be like that all day long. Age regression is not a disorder but a physiological phenomenon. And since it’s involuntary for him I did some research and found out that if it’s involuntary it is very possible that it is a symptom of a mental disorder. Anyway, I want you to tell me what you think about this. Are you actually like that and I’m in the wrong or is he actually a big fat liar seeking attention and reassurance? Cause literally in this group chat I feel like I’m in the kindergarten babysitting.
hehehe i don nkow what to add here
Hi everyone,
After surfing the web for a while looking for an answer to what i am experiencing i found age regression and i would like some advice from you guys:
i’m 19 years old and i recently started having a strong desire of becoming a child again. It all started a month ago when i took a plush and slept with it and progressively i wished to do more and more child-like things, like playing with toys, avoiding mature content of every kind but only watching kids related and so on.
This usually happens to me at night, after the entire day, i want to be baby’d and sleep with a plushie and a pacifier. This is also starting to happen in my relationship.
in fact, i’m starting to ask to my gf to be treated like a kid and she’s fine with it for now. Could you explain what i’m experiencing?
Sorry for the long text and bad english (i am not a native speaker) and thanks to everyone who will help me
You know how if a kid doesnt want to do their homework, you'll motivate them by saying that if they do the homework, they'll get a treat? I was wondering if anybody had some ideas for what rewards could be. Trying to make a sheet or something, but idk how to go about it
its a tv show he really likes, bluey, he loves the show so when i see it i think of him, my abuser, but in this community everywhere i see it and it's so unfair!!! hummmftt
