Supporting my Daddy in exploring his Middle Space

[PrincessReindeer]

Hi all

 

So I was wondering if there were other Littles who are helping their daddies explore their Middle/Little spaces?

 

See my partner and I are switches and he is slowly starting to open up about his Middle Space but I haven't been a CG before. I say CG as he tends to lean more toward the regression aspects of this whereas I am (sometimes) a sexual Little. We have very different interests in our spaces and as much as I want to support him I am struggling to help him (and myself) learn more about these roles. 

 

We have (sort of) experimented with our switch sides but its a slow process building that trust and dealing with the insecurities it brings up at times. I would love to learn more about Middle space in guys, specifically geared toward regression as most of what I can find is MDLB orientated (which is adorable) and doesn't fit his head space at all. I am struggling to find masculine presenting individuals which do not make use of dummies or diapers as his age range is truly more early teens and the suggestion of such things in his Middle space seems to make him uncomfortable. Basically I just want to show him that he isn't alone in this and maybe introduce him to a few things which are educational or theme orientated to encourage him to think more about what he wants and needs in that space.

 

If anyone has any pointers I am open to suggestions or even knows other Daddies in similar positions I would love to hear from them. It seems like reconciling the dominant and slightly less in control spaces is a challenge for him. He keeps worrying that he is being selfish by having this space despite my reassurances. Fellow Littles and Switches, how do you encourage and support your partners? How do you like to be supported and what do you wish you had learned when first exploring your switch sides?

 

Thanks so much

Soo, I don't quite fit as I am an s-leaning switch. However, I was a daddy at one point and am now exploring being little boy. It took a while to get comfortable relinquishing some of that "domlyness". Now, being a little/middle doesn't automatically make someone a submissive, so you could see about using that as a stepping stone so to speak, where he's in charge of his headspace and exploration into middle space without giving up much of his d-type ness and slowly progress if thats something he wants. I don't know my own age range, and some would classify me as more middle-ish but honestly I don't care enough to figure it out right now. I just do what appeals to me and am fairly independent at the moment in my little space. Personally I'd suggest he does some work on his own of getting comfortable with himself first and foremost and then he can be comfortable communicating and introducing aspects of another person/cg. That's what I had to do, get comfortable with it myself to then be comfortable involving my Sir. At first that looked like me doing my little thing on the floor (colouring, or simple crafts, or cartoons, etc) while Sir was in the room (usually playing a video game) so he wasn't directly involved but I got used to having a person there and he was able to observe and learn/get comfortable. Otherwise I'd just be open in communication and encourage self-exploration. There's some cute little boy aesthetic tumblrs I follow as I too have trouble finding masculine representation in cg/l. Otherwise feel free to message me or something.
