Honestly, it started with a bdsm test. My hubby and I took it for fun and it came out that my number one thing was little. At first I didn’t understand what it was or meant and had a hard time accepting it. I just thought I was quirky but somehow it just clicked bc me being “little” and age regressing really helped me cope with anxiety and stressors. I’ve always masked who I was and what I liked, trying to fit to society norms persay when I loved all things sparkly, rainbow, Disney, Harry Potter etc. My hubby encouraged me to just be my true self and it was like weight was lifted off me. It was hard to get in true little space at first as I am a mom and my hubby was deployed at the time so I kinda have to plan it and it doesn’t always happen. But I’ve always loved to color and pretend with my kiddos so I just took time each night when my “ mommy” duties were somewhat done meaning kids were in bed to let myself just be. So my hubby would FaceTime me and I would color or watch a show while in pjs and hair up and snuggling with my puppy and blankie ( which ive done my entire life) and suck my thumb or a paci. My hubby thought I would like diapers or at least pull ups and I agreed to try. At first I was very nervous about it but I definitely got into it quickly. It’s a huge comfort thing for me. Like it’s very soft and warm and calming- like I could take a deep breath and it very much gets me into little space. Again I have kids ( so this is done when they are in bed- I am mommy first always to my kiddos). But I very much love when I’m able to get into complete little space with footie pjs, blankie, puppy snuggling with daddy and just feeling small and safe.
I think the main thing is not to pressure but follow her lead.
