Social-Emotional Checklist for Age Regressors

This checklist can help you figure out a specific age that you, an OC, or your little one regress to, based on how they communicate, express emotions, interact with their caregivers, and socialize with other littles.

To complete it, highlight or check off any of the descriptions that apply to you or your little one. If you highlight ALL or the vast majority of the traits in one category, then your little is OLDER than that and is past that phase. If you highlight about HALF of the descriptions, then that is exactly where your little one is at when regressed. If nothing in that category applies to your little one, they are younger than that given age. Some littles may have a mix of multiple developmental ages, especially if they're neurodivergent, and that's okay!

I'm gonna do this for my age-regressing OC Rhea, and feel free to copy/paste this wherever you'd like, or just use it for your own reference! [original source]

You'll see that for Rhea, I could check off almost everything in the infant category. She has her favorite caregiver, she's anxious around strangers, and she's aware of other people's emotions and tries to respond!

Once I got to the toddler category however, things got a little more shaky. She throws tantrums and has some complexity to her emotions, however she's not playing with peers at all and doesn't care for pretend play. Once I reached the gradeschool level, nothing really applied to her so I stopped there.

This tells me that Rhea is about 2 years old, although this can shift a bit because age regression has its own natural ebbs and flows. Try it out with yourself or your little one, and see if it helps you understand them or help them out a little bit better!

more tips for middle regressors

public edition

🖍do you want to do coloring pages but a coloring book isn’t exactly what you want to be carrying around with you? print them out and put them in a binder! or do what i did and print them out and bind them into a book w/ thread (there are youtube tutorials for that). You can also get an old book cover and bind the pages into that

🖍do you have some comfort characters you really like but are from kids shows? make a kandi bracelet/necklace of them (kandi is good for stimming when you can’t bring anything with you)

🖍feeling bad about yourself? remind yourself that if you were a chimpanzee in an enclosure doing the same things you would be considered highly intelligent and a miracle of evolution, as well as emotionally developed. there is no such thing as childish stuff it is all just Stuff and also you are doing your best and just because that doesn’t look like someone else’s best doesn’t mean you aren’t doing well

🖍are you waiting for something and have brought absolutely nothing with you to entertain you/calm you down? imagine your comfort character is with you/talking to you. idk if this will help but yeah

Yesterday was fun! I couldn't buy everything so I took pics. I love bright colors and soft fuzzy things. The first picture shows what I bought. Stickers are a must! I use a variety of journal types for different regression ages and projects . Have an awesome day. Always be yourself 💖💖💖

“About”

I’ll make a proper “about” page later, so for now here’s a brief post to introduce myself and this blog (since it’s still so new).

You can call me Jovi, Snow, or Moon. Welcome to my little agere/chire and nostalgia blog.

Pronouns: they/them/theirs + he/him/his Physical age: over 21 Regressed age range: 4-15ish ID: always questioning! approximately aro-spec & fluid nonbinary Fictionkin and monsterkin, not “kin for fun” and likely won’t post too much about kin stuff here. I’m autistic and mentally ill and slowly recovering from emotional abuse and neglect.

Ahoy! I’m an autistic tumblr vet who’s finally caved and made a little agere blog. I spent my whole childhood trying to act “mature”, and completely missed out on getting to be a proper teen, so here’s to making up for lost time!

I’m a lifelong “weird kid” and aspiring “edgy older sibling”. I’m hyperverbal and low-empathy. I love drawing, music, gaming, comics, and the late 2000s-mid 2010s internet! I also still love a lot of the stuff my ex-parents introduced me to, so there’s a few random things from the ’60s and ’80s that I’m nostalgic about as well. I’ve always been very mixed-tolerance on “scary” content, and like a lot of “creepy”, “edgy”, and even “grimdark” things, so don’t be too surprised if I post stuff like that! Some of my special interests and fixations aren’t fandom, either.

Some (not all) topics I like/may post about:

My Little Pony (gens 1, 3, 4, and maybe 3.5)

Brony culture and Pony Music

Web animations

Comics

Star Wars

PS2 games

Old computer and browser games

Pokémon

Sailor Moon

Music

Toys (including action figures)

Stuff you’d see at Hot Topic

Obligatory “Would Prefer That You DNI If...”

Typical DNI criteria (homophobes, antisemites, TERFs, etc.)

REGs (anti-MOGAI, ace/pan exclusionists)

Radinclus/Pro-Para (pro-MAPs, zoophiles, transracial, etc.)

Anti-nonbinary and/or anti-xenogenders

Anti-fictionkin

Pro-lolicon/shotacon

ABDL or CG/L kink

You demand trans people disclose their AGAB (even if you’re trans)

You call yourself “anti-anti” or “proship”

Vent and traumacore blogs can interact!

I hope we can all get along well enough, here 💜 Feel free to send me asks, I love to talk!

#age regression #agere #chire #sfw middlespace #boyre #middlespace #if you know me from elsewhere you can call me by a name from there but just be respectful is all... I Like having lots of names #will pin this post until I scrape together an actual About page

Ur fave is a permagressor: its me.

I'm in my late 20s but for some reason got stuck at 14. Trauma? Maybe. Just vibing. Although I do feel out of place in the real world, despite how "successful" I supposedly am at it.

things that make ME feel small bc y'all too cutesy and aesthetic about it:

Tickle monster/"I'm gonna getcha"

Wrestling or play fighting

Science, especially demonstrations

Snack plates with raw veggies

Being active outdoors at dusk

Eating while wet from the pool

Rewatching movies

The plastic smell of my Halloween pumpkin that I've had since I was born

"Setting up" a scene instead of actually playing with the toys

Harry Potter

Doing a pre-portioned craft kit

Third grade worksheets

Plain or weird food. Frozen peas, dry oats, Too Many Olives, perhaps a pair of prunes, the odd bowl of Just Tomatoes

Animals and veterinary stuff

Dad playing guitar

Doing stuff that everybody else is doing, but by myself instead of in a group (this could be a bad one tho)

Swing sets

My childhood stuffie

Wearing glasses

Low ponytails

"Wow, what are you making?"

Seeing certain outfits and accessories my mom held onto

Riding roller coasters

Owl City

The Walmart toy section

Christmas Eve, in the middle of the night

Being with my friends, because they bring out a side of me I haven't seen in 15 years
