How did you figure out your little age?

[Oliver.nikola2000]

I’m new to this forum and the ddlg community. Everyone on this forum knows their little age but I’m not sure how to figure out mine could a more experienced little help me?

Not everyone has a little age, but it's mostly just figuring out what you are comfortable with. For me, I am open-minded about pacis and onesies, but refuse to wear diapers or pull-ups. I also like stuffies, coloring, cartoons, toys, etc. So 3-4 felt about the right age range for me. My middle age was easier to figure out because I've always felt like a teenager trapped in an adult's body, and in a way I've always felt like my life just stopped moving when I was 14.

You don't have to have a Little age if you dont want to.

 

A common age range seems to be 3 to 5 though because many littles like sippy cups, pacifiers, artsy stuff, etc. So it's really mostly figuring out what kinds of activities you like doing in little space.

i never feel fully comfortable with mine! i'm a mix of a bunch of things. i say "5-7" because i like the idea of being around kindergarten age, with school and easy homework assignments to do (cute backpacks! fun school supplies!), but i also like pacis/sippies/bottles/training pants. i don't often wear diapers, but i do like them when i'm feeling sick/needy (and they also make a good punishment when i've been acting immature). i can talk and read, but i'm still naive about a lot of things in littlespace.

 

basically, figure out what you do and don't like, and build a rough estimate from there. it can be a range! it can be two (or more) wildly different numbers! it can fluctuate! don't panic, just go with the flow

Like the others have said it can be pretty difficult to pinpoint your little age. I've found age ranges tend to work best for me because my ages tend to bounce around a lot. My little side is anywhere from 3ish - 7ish and my middle side is anywhere from 12ish -16ish. 

 

Don't feel like you have to come up with a little age (range or otherwise) just because "everyone else" has one. I know tons of littles who don't, and for the ones that do, it's just guesswork/what makes them feel the most comfortable. 

I hope this helped and that you have a fantastic day.

Personally, I also had trouble finding out mine, so I read somewhere that it helped to look up what babies/toddlers start to do/like at what age.

For example:

I don't like to wear diapers (age 3+), like to speak in full sentences (age 4+), fantasize and be very creative (4+), be very active by running, climbing, jumping (4+), but love to read and turn the pages on my own (4+)...

So those are the kind of things I ask myself and then go online to check the approximate age for.

 

Hopefully it helps!

Maybe unpopular opinion and off topic I don't know (and sorry if it is), but I don't have a "little age", and I don't have a "little space" either. At times I feel really little, and at others I feel like an older middle, and I'm happy and comfortable like this. I used to feel a bit weird because I didn't recognize myself in the big majority of posts here (talking about entering little space or things lik that), but ultimately, your little side is your own and you don't need it to be like others. If you really want to know your "little age" then by all means go ahead, but really, it's not necessary. What's REALLY necessary, is that you feel good and comfortable with this aspect of your life; that you do activities that you enjoy; that you make it your own and he best for you (and don't try to other's perception of it) 

 

Coming here and discovering all of this can be overwhelming and you may feel like you have to do things "by the book" and define yourself precisely, like I felt at first. But I felt far better once I just forgot about it and let it come naturally   Have a good day (edit because I can't type apparently)

I think you just gradually figure it out as you learn what little things you like.  I used to say 3 to 5 (like many people do), but I've come to realize that little me is 3.  Keep in mind that little age is fluid.  What I mean is that even though I feel 3, little me could do something in an older age range if that feels natural for me.

My age is 46. That's the only age i have. Until my birthday of course, and then my age will be 47, lol. You do not have to have a "little age" to be any kind of little.

[PrincessKittenCupcake]

I do not have a "little age." Don't get hung up on that. Children of the same age can be dramatically different in terms of development and their interests, ESPECIALLY in the oh-so-popular 3-5 range.

 

I know it can be hard when talking to potential Caregivers, because they will probably ask, but you can just explain what your interests/limits are. If they need clarification, they'll ask.

[Guest curiousmiddle]

There are lots of websites that describe children of different ages. How they act, what they normally like and need, their speech patterns. You can research child development and see which one suits little you.

I sort of have a little age range, but my personality itself is very young and somewhat child-like.  I figured it just by...intuition kind of.  "Oh, this was kind of what I was like when I was X years old, so that's probably my little age."  The range is around 4-7ish, because I can be very young-seeming and clingy and needy, and a lot of trouble with saying some words (animal, cinnamon [cinnamon I have trouble with even when I'm big, if I'm talking too fast], a few others.), yet I can also be very independent and just want to go go go and take everyone with me and have alllll the fun in the world.

But I will agree that you don't necessarily have to have a little age to be a little.  Different people are different.  Just like for some people, their littleness is sexual in nature, while others shy away at any hint of ANYTHING sexual.
