Before I start this is NOT meant to be hateful or be phrased as hateful and I'm sososo sorry if it sounds like it. Could you possibly explain to me how age/petreg works? I've had ppl ask me to be their caretaker and I don't actually get it? Ive heard a lot of different things, and the internet is hard to trust because a lot of that is just as confusing. I don't understand if its a trauma response, or a brain issue thing, or a mental state thing, ext. I really hope this isn't rude or pushy or any form of an invasion of ur personal privacy to ask these kinds of things. If you aren't comfy answering, don't. I would prefer ur comfortable with answering stuff like this. Im, personally, just confused and want to be able to understand it better.

Hellooo and yes i can explain it as best as i can !
Pet regression/age regression is when someone falls back into a childish state, the age can range but for us its usually 5-7 years old, pet regression is the same thing but the person's mind thinks to one as an pup/kit/goat/any animal !
Some people do this for fun, to cope with childhood trauma, or anxiety ! Its not an brain issue, from the research we've done. They can still type and things, they just might need help doing things and taking care of themselves, sometimes littles/age regressors/pet regressors cant do anything by themselves, sometimes they get really clingy and get really attached.
Caregivers jobs are to help the regressor, take care of them, support them, and have fun with the little, sometimes they can be non-verbal but it just depends ! But most importantly remember when someone is regressed treat them as an actual child, treat them with care and love, if they want you to be their cg they must really trust you !
Hopefully that helped ! --Dustin
