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!

middle regressor are worthy regressors! that includes:

trans/non-binary middle regressors who are transitioning and experiencing puberty all over again (mentally and physically!)

bratty and opinionated middle regressors

middle regressors who can't afford regression gear like a new wardrobe

middle regressors who don't have or even want a cg

middle regressors who regress to mid-late teens (we/they exist!)

middle regressors who don't feel valid because they're not soft little baby regressors/feel underrepresented

paci customs

does anyone know any specifically sfw instagram and/or etsy sellers who are taking paci customs? i really want one cuz i only have old plain ones i didn't take care of so they're all nasty

SHOUTOUT TO TRANSFEM AND TRANS GIRL REGRESSORS AND CGS!! I SEE A NET ZERO OF Y'ALL IN THE TAGS SO CLEARLY YOU'RE NOT REPRESENTED WELL IN THE COMMUNITY SO LEMME GIVE YOU A BIG HECK YEAH AND A KEEP DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

just your daily reminder that the gear you use does not have to align with your little age!

if you're a kiddo regressor but you like to use pacis and wear onesies thats cool and awesome. if you're a baby regressor but you like to wear pretty dresses and makeup thats also cool and awesome. dont be afraid to use gear that "doesnt make sense for your age"!! the only requirement to use gear is that it makes you happy and helps you regress.

kinda think thonkin about starting an agere business 🤔

i've always wanted to have my own business, and i think it would be so cool to have one based around age regression! i could do downloadable stuff people could print, but also physical stuff like little journals and sticky notes and stickers and maybe planners and t-shirts and eventually onesies and bibs and paci clips!

and it would all be based around making age regression less scary! like, it would help people who aren't age regressors understand what it is and at the same time, help littles have less shame surrounding their regression! i just think that would be so cool!
