Common Practices & Experiences
Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common practices and experiences involving littles include, but certainly aren't limited to:
- Identifying as a little outside of the context of a dynamic and in some instances not requiring a dynamic at all.
- Enjoying “cute” and “childish” things like coloring books and hair bows.
- Enjoying the company of other littles, with whom one can share activities with, like watching cartoons or shopping for little-themed fashion.
- Thriving under the care of a gentle dominant partner, who may identify as a “mommy”, “daddy”, or “caregiver”
- Overlap with “Middles” who tend to enjoy things associated with pre-teens rather than young children.
