Little space (also known as age regression) is when one mentally regresses to a state younger than their physical age (often to a toddler or baby). It is a healthy coping mechanism that is common for people with childhood trauma or people who feel like they missed out on their childhood.
Something that is important to note is that regression looks different for everyone. Some littles want things like pacis and bottles while others don't, some stay little for long periods of time and others don't, for some regression is a choice and for others it is involuntary.
If your friend/partner ever reveals to you that they use little space know that they feel safe with you to share such vulnerable information and please do not judge or make fun of them for it. They are the same person and you should treat them the same way as well as have conversations with them about it. Just note that it can be an embarrassing subject to talk about so make sure that they know that you support them.

Little space is NOT ped0phillia.
