| bub breaks down |

* impure regression - content warning : the little one wasn’t ever able to have a good childhood / was never able to be a child in a moral and emotional standpoint so they breakdown pretty bad while regressed. their caregiver does what they can to calm them and they, themselves get pretty worked up and worried. it’s all in the caregivers point of view.

🗝⌛️🕯🗝⌛️🕯🗝⌛️🕯🗝⌛️🕯🗝⌛️🕯🦴⌛️🕯

“ feelings hurt so bad, ‘ubba.”

the little one cried into the air, head resting on the back of the couch with their teary eyes shut as they gripped their bubba’s hands tight. their caregiver was kneeling on the floor in front of them, they had dropping down in front of their little one when the heard them wake up from a nap crying.

did the caregiver know why the little one had started crying?

no.

and that was scaring them a little bit- a lot.

they reached up in a hurry and wiped the stray tears falling down the little ones cheeks, watching as they put their head up and opened their oh so pitiful eyes.

“ shouldn’t do this, bubba. what the point? i’s not m kid, m no get this back.” the little ones face scrunched up in a sob, sinking down to the floor so that they could be closer to their bubba.

the caregiver sighed in realization.

the little got these feelings every so often- feelings of doubt, confusion, and grief.

they got these feelings because of their regression, they always wondered why they even regress- they weren’t really a child and they would never be a child again so why play pretend? shouldn’t they be living reality and come fo terms that their childhood wasn’t fair and they’ll never get to live it again?

all thoughts that the little one has cried out to the caregiver before.

the carer just pulled the little one close, hugging them tight and allowing them to get these things out. though, it seemed to be much worse than usual- their breathing was in between hiccups and their nose was stuffed, the tears were hot against the cg’s neck. they carer wouldn’t want the little one to get sick- that would make them even more upset.

slowly, they pulled back from the hug, trying their best to ignore the pitiful wail the little one let out at the action.

they placed their hand on the precious cheeks and wiped the scolding tears.

“Shh, bub. you’re going to get sick.” they shushed, trying to get the little one to calm down just a little bit.

it only caused them to cry louder, cries that came deep from their heart- they were so hurt. It made the caregivers own eyes tear up.

“ never gonna be m kid, never was allowed to be a kid- I hate this, I don’ like this.. ‘ubba.” they cried as the grabbed their bubba’s wrists, they held tightly and just cried harder.

it was scaring the carer- usually a quick hug and some reassurance got them to calm down. they didn’t even know what to do.

“I know.. I know, bubs.” they just comforted, hands staying on the flushed cheeks so that the little one would t snuggle back up into their neck and make it harder to breathe for themselves.

“I- I was never allowed to, ‘ubba. not fair- it was never fair, i’s will never get- get-“ the little one couldn’t breathe well anymore- tears making their throat close up as they started to cough.

the caregivers heart just shattered, the precious little one was in so much pain. there was nothing the could even do- the sounds of coughing was just worrying them.

“my baby, please.. breathe, you’re going to get sick. I hear you, I do. It’s not fair, it will never be fair that you weren’t given the chance to be a kid.” the cg tried to sympathize, moving their hands to the little ones shoulders, breathing deeply in- hoping the other would follow them.

slowly but surely they did. looking at their bubba and nodding slightly, letting them know they were listening- letting them know they didn’t want to get sick.

they sat there for a while, at some point- the little one ended up in the carer’s lap, facing away from the and facing the couch, a blank stare was on their face, body and mind coming down from the episode.

though, the caregiver knew at some point they would have to get up. so, the gently moved their little one around and picked them up, an arm holding their legs and shushing the little one as the got startled.

“I’ve got you, bub. you’re here with me, you’re allowed to let go for a while, yeah? I’ll take care of you.” they whispered into the little ones hair, laying a soft kiss on top of it.

they led them both to the bedroom, gently laying the little one down on the bed.

“close your eyes, okay? i’m going to go get a wash cloth to wipe your face, I’ll be right back.”

the little didn’t say anything as their bubba walked to the bathroom, just laying with their eyes closed.

the caregiver walked to the bathroom quickly, grabbing a washcloth and wetting it without thinking much so they weren’t leaving their baby for long.

they go back and sit on the edge of the bed, wincing when the little one gets startled.

“ ‘s just me, bubs.” they soothe, running their hand through the little ones hair and presses the cold rag to their warm, flushed cheeks.

it is peaceful, the little one just lets out soft sighs, no doubt feeling exhausted.

“all done. thank you, petal.” the carer whispers and settles a soft kiss on top of their head once more, throwing the wash rag to the floor- they’ll pick it up later, and then they climb in next to their little one.

they hug them tight, sighing themselves when they feel the little one relax completely.

“i’ve got you- i’m able to take care of you, my baby. i like taking care of you.” they whisper into their hair.

they would get through this.

the little one would find a way to get themselves through this bump, they always have and always will- with or without their caregiver by their side.

“goodnight, sweetheart.”

the two sleep peacefully and watch the little ones favorite shows when they awake.

Roaming

Going to be turning this into a series of paintings and then prints!

I found these AMAZING communication cards by https://twitter.com/countin_starzz/status/1638693808903684096

Small thingies you can do for your regressor that may not seem like much, but can mean a lot to them 💕💕💕

Put little cute pins in their hair, doesn’t matter if it’s super neat or not, it’s the thought that counts 💗

Cut their food for them or randomly hand them their sippy when you think they need a drink 🍼

If they’re having trouble sleeping, read them a simple bedtime story or put on quiet music you know they like 🌙

Remind them that they’re your baby, we always appreciate the reminder ☺️

Put on one of their shows or favorite sfw youtubers for them if you need to do stuff while their regressed so they can focus on something, but just remember to give them a small head pat or I love you sometimes too let them know you’re still there 🦄

Keep track and see if they have certain amount of time they have in between regression occasions, and suggest to them that they should if you think it’s been too long for them 🍄

Find a game to play together! Something easy for their age group! Suggestions that can be entertaining for all are: Cards like matching or crazy 8, hide and seek, dress up 🎮

Make a sticker chart for them, give them stickers on it when they do something you ask that may be hard for them, or they do something nice without being asked 🎨

i dunnos if it’s just me or if a lotta littles feel this way, but it’s so much easier to regress when i get sickie. like, yes, i would love to just rest for the day. and get simple food like soup and crackers, and snuggle, and get my temperate taken. something about it just makes it nostalgic, right?

Activites to get all that energy out of your kiddo!

(these may depend on your little one, but I personally enjoy activities that aren’t on my own!)

Find a board game to play together! Thats a sure way to get them excited!🐝

Go on a walk and test their endurance! Just be careful, you don’t wanna end up having to carry such a sweet baby allllll the way back home🐰

Play a 2-player video game together, but nothing too graphic or complicated for that sweetie🦋

Hide-and-Seek or a scavenger hunt is always a lovely classic🐢

Make a big ol’ blankie/pillow fort together! Get all those stuffies and comfy stuff together!(maybe include a pillow fight)🐋

If they’re a crafty baby, buy some creative stuffs for them that isn’t just a simple coloring book! Maybe stuffs to make bead bracelets or paint something 3D🦉

🧸Your regressor is in the headspace of a child, meaning they will probably get those big energy bursts like one too. If they are too small at the moment, they can’t rationalize how to correctly get it out. I bet any baby would be so so thankful to have choices given to them on how to engage themselves in a fun way with their caregiver to get allllll that big energy out!🧸
