Watching for signs that your little needs to go somewhere quiet and less busy.
Knowing what your little can and can’t touch and not pushing them.
Not getting upset or offended when your little asks you to be more quiet or to mute or turn off something that’s making noise.
Remembering what noises make them panic so you can watch for them and help your little avoid them.
Having noise cancelling headphones on hand in case you’re in a loud situation that you can’t get your little out of.
Understanding that when they say they don’t want to/can’t be touched it’s most likely because they can’t handle the contact
Being patient and understanding and reminding yourself that they can’t control the things that trigger them or mess with their senses, and reassuring them that it’s not too much.
As long as you don’t overuse it, it’s okay. I would still recommend an adult pacifier, because they’re more comfortable. If you can’t get one, then pacifiers meant for older babies is best. 0-3 month pacifiers and dollar store pacifiers aren’t going to be fun, since you can only use them for a little bit of time before they start to hurt.
I’m not sure, sorry!

When I first joined Tumblr, I was very confused about the different terms and what they mean. So, to help clear up confusion, I’ve complied a list to help others better understand what means what.
Please remember at the end of the day, words are just words. Everyone will have a different understanding and interpretation. However you choose to identify, respect that others may choose different terminology, and that’s okay.
Do not use this post as a grounds for bashing any individuals or any communities. I will block you. I don’t care which community you have a disagreement with- I don’t want your discourse on my blog. If you want to rant about a certain community, you have your own blog.
Most definitions are related to age regression in some way. I’ve included common DNI’s as well.
While I did a lot of research, there may be some inaccuracies, and I may have forgotten a few definitions. Please feel free to correct me or request that a definition be added via ask or direct message, and I will adjust the post. Please be sure you’re viewing this here on my actual blog, so you see the most up-to-date information.
~Changelog~
12/20/17: Changed info on Liltots.
06/11/18: Changed info on TCC.
ABDL: Adult Baby Diaper Lover. A fetish involving diapers and roleplaying as a baby. ABDL does not have to be sexual, but it is a kink term.
Ageplay: A kink involving roleplaying as an age younger (or sometimes older) than your actual age.
Age Regression: Also known as agere. Not a kink, and not sexual in any way. Some age regressors also partake in ageplay, but the two are considered separate. Age regressors mentally regress to a younger age. Age regression is a way for some people to cope with trauma, mental illness, and/or stress. For others, it’s simply something they enjoy because it’s fun and/or relaxing.
Some age regressors have a caregiver, and some do not. Some age regressors choose to identify themselves as a little- often because it’s viewed as a cuter label than age regressor.
Age Regression Society: An age regression network.
Agere League: An age regression & pet regression network. They don’t welcome interactions or crosstagging with kink, cgl/ddlg/mdlb, littles/littlespace (except system littles), porn blogs, or cglre. They also don’t welcome interaction with REGs, racism, lgbt+phobic, transphobe, Truscums, TERF, etc.
Possibly gone now, I’m not really sure what’s going on with Agere League.
Angelic Kiddos is a non-sexual age regression community. They don’t welcome MAPs, kink blogs, NSFW blogs, or cgl. They also don’t want interaction from anyone who interacts with any of those.
Anti: Anti means against. For example, if someone is anti-cglre, they’re against cglre. Also used by people who simply don’t want certain kinds of interaction.
Aphobe & Biphobe: People who are against asexuals and people who are against bisexuals.
Caregiver: Someone who cares for a little. This is used by kink communities and non-kink communities. Variants include Mommy and Daddy. Other words (such as Papa, Mama, & more) are sometimes used.
CGL: Caregiver and little. A BDSM dynamic where the dominant partner takes on a parental role in the relationship. CGL may or may not include age regression or ageplay. It can be used to describe one of two situations: a power exchange relationship, or a bedroom-only kink. CGL does not have to involve sex, but it is still a kink term.
Variants of cgl include DDLG (Daddy Dom and little girl) MDLB (Mommy Dom and little boy) MDLG (Mommy Dom and little girl) and DDLB (Daddy Dom and little boy.)
CGL can also be typed as CG/L, DD/lg, MD/lg, etc.
CGLRE: The non-sexual, non-kink relationship between a caregiver and an age regressor. Cglre is not affiliated with kink. Variants of cglre include dxlg (Daddy & Little Girl), dxlb (Daddy & Little Boy), mxlg (Mommy & Little Girl), and mxlb (Mommy and Little Boy).
Chire: A non-sexual age regression community. They’re very strict about their DNI when it comes to kink, and cglre.
Discourse: Debates or arguments about certain topics.
DNI: Do not interact. Some people will have a list of communities they don’t want interaction with. Some people use DNI banners to convey this.
Half Regressor: An age regressor who doesn’t fully regress. Some half regressors also fully regress at times, others always half regress. Like age regressors, half regressors are not kink-related or sexual in any way.
Every half regressor is different, but here are traits half regressors may exhibit. They can switch between big mode and little mode quickly and easily, with little to no mental shock/whiplash. They may act cute, use baby talk, suck on pacis, wear diapers, call their caretaker Mommy/Daddy, and participate in other age regression activities while also engaging in big activities (such as cooking or doing homework.)
Honeypot Preschool: An age regression club. They don’t welcome any display of anti-lgbtqa+, racist, ableist, & exclusionist behaviors or religious discrimination, pedophilia, pro-age play (in a impure context), pro-eating disorder, etc.
Kidhearts: A community for age regressors, pet regressors, & system littles. They do not welcome kink, NSFW, liltot, tinyroyal, or cglre interaction. They have their own terms & tags.
Liltot: A non-sexual age regression community. They also have bigtot and teenytot tags- bigtots is for age regressors who regress to 9+, teentietots is for regressors who regress to under 2. They don’t welcome interaction from ageplayers, but appear to welcome everyone else.
Little: This term CAN have sexual connotations, but in itself is not a kink term. It’s used by ageplayers and age regressors, as well as system littles. Variants include little boy, little girl, and little one.
Littlespace: The definition of littlespace is mixed, and causes a lot of misunderstanding. Some people use little space to define their blog as being a safe place during regression. Some people use it to describe the time during which they regress. Some people associate littlespace with kink, while others use it platonically.
MAP: Minor attracted person; pedophile. Also known as NOP, which stands for non-offending pedophile.
Petplay: A BDSM dynamic where one partner takes on the role of a pet, and one partner takes on the role of owner. An unowned pet may call themselves a stray. Kittens and puppies are the most popular pets, but a petplayer may take on the role of any animal. Some petplayers don’t identify with an animal, and partake in the power exchange as a human pet. Petplay is a kink term, but does not have to be sexual.
Pet Regression: A pet regressor is someone who regresses into the mindset of a pet. This is non-sexual and non-kink. Some pet regressors cope with trauma or mental illness through their regression, and others simply identify more closely to an animal.
Proana: People who promote anorexia & other eating disorders.
REG: Radicalist Exclusionist Gatekeepers. This includes TERFs, transphobes, truscum, SWERFs, aphobes, etc.
Supporter: Someone who supports something. Some people ask that those who support certain communities & etc. do not interact with them.
Switch: A kink term used to describe someone who switches between dominant and submissive roles. Some people are dominant more often than they are submissive, or vice-versa. This term is sometimes mistakenly used by non-kink age regressors who are also non-kink caregivers.
System Little: System littles are a child alter in a system. A system is a collection of alters or system members within one body. More information on Disassociate Identity Disorder (D.I.D) and plurality is available here.
Teenietots: An age regression community for age regressors, system littles, pet regressors, and carers. Does not welcome cgl, cglre, kink, nsfw, or Society interaction.
TERF: Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist. A group of feminists that discriminate against trans men, trans women, and non-binary individuals.
TCC: True Crime Community. People who are interested in the psychology of people who commit crimes, usually violent ones. It doesn’t necessarily involve idolization, although some individuals have “celebrity crushes” on serial killers, school shooters, etc.
Tinyroyals: A community that is no longer active.
Truscum: Also known as transmedicalists. They follow the medical definition of transsexualism, and that you need gender dysphoria in order to be trans.
SWERF: Sex Worker Exclusionary Radical Feminist. A group of feminists who believes sex workers don’t deserve equal rights.
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )
The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )
Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )
^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups
Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.
A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
Signal boosting, the bell ringers are out in force, and this info is too important.
I have never sold anything through this blog. I recommend things, that’s it c:
Hello cuties! Just wanted to say that I’m currently sick, but I’ll be answering messages/asks more frequently when I feel better. Please be patient, thank you!
