I wish whoever wrote this would let me know what I could do to help. {hugs the small part}

Well, someone felt safe enough to show themselves and this is good. You can encourage things by allowing more dialogue. Maybe leave out some drawing material, paints, pens etc if she/he is bored.

Thanks Pegs {hugs if okay} I used to have that sort of stuff laying around but then it got put away. I'll do that again

Fox,

Did you find some drawings around yet? ..

Love,
Hunny

yeah a lot of scribbles and people with just heads and legs and arms but no bodies lol. I hung them up on the wall figuring that might encourage them to do more.

I don't understand something, maybe you can explain. My nieces have been able to use a computer since they were two but can't type, or read. . . so how would my littles know how to post in the forum? It's something someone else had brought up a few weeks ago in chat and I used the fact that my nieces are real people and know how to use the mouse to play games on computers and know how to use arrow keys. But it really doesn't explain how then my or anyone else's littles know how to read or type. I'm just trying to understand, I'm not meaning to offend anyone especially since obviously my littles can type and do big stuff like that and know how to submit posts. (just want to clarify in case anyone's thinking anything bad sorries if I'm not making sense I'm kinda zoned out a bit today.)

Dearest Fox,

I am terribly grateful that you asked this question.

When I first came here I stated very emphatically to my therapist that "I would use PC but I would never have a little insider post!". In the meantime I kept reading from the kind people here adults, teens and little insiders. At first, I was kind of judgemental in my thoughts, about the posts from little insiders.

Then came the day I asked those posters how that could happen. They responded the same as you. Even two year olds can click and draw on the computer and obviously some very clever tiny people know lots of big words. My two year old grand daughter was speaking quite clearly before age two. Keeping up with adding words to her vocabulary was a challenge. (lol, is Hunny bragging here, I hope not).

So, I let my little ones start with the emoticons here on PC. They played with them and loved them Then as words started to be made known internally when they wanted to play with the other littles here I let them say the words and together we tried and worked at finding a way to make words together. This is the great part of co-consciousness. Sometimes our littles are kinda shy or don't want everyone reading so, we let them post in a special place on here. (I can PM you where it is).

Anyways, I am so happy your little one is starting to feel safer here. She/he may love the little emoticons too. So hopefully she can find a way to get to them, maybe with a little help from the big insiders

Love,
Hunny

Thanks so much hunny. I know from a saved chat from my 3/4 year old that he gets help typing from an 8 year old so maybe if I have littler ones they could get help too? I was just thinking today how hard all this is without a T. I wonder where I'd be if it weren't for PC. I know it wouldn't have been me who'd have started putting pieces together! I read in a DID book that it seems to be not until a person's career starts falling apart do they seek help etc. So maybe I would've gone through my entire life wondering what's wrong. I always knew something was wrong, well at least for the past 4 or 5 years but couldn't explain what was feeling "off" till I met others with DID and their early experiences were much like what I'm feeling now.

I've looked a few times in the garden but every time I go in there I get a tummy ache and just start feeling smaller. So I back out of it. I don't like the feeling before I switch when it's like that. When I switch to someone big I don't notice anything different. It's not until I'm me again do I get a headache. Is that normal?

For every little you have there will always be an adult not far in the background. So, even for the very youngest they will be able to use the keyboard albeit with a load of spelling mistakes but that doesn't matter. The fact that the little felt safe enough to do this is just wonderful.

This is true, but us small ones share common knowledge with the biggers. But not all that when we get a bigger to sit with us and teach us what we don't know. It had knowing something is different about you self but not for sure what it is. But it is easer to process thing when you know other that are doing the same.

We try to be comfortable when we switch. so don't force yourself to do it. let it happen on it own time. Just by providing stuff for the youngers to do when they be out is a big hello we like you and you be safe. We get headaches to. to us it is from the switching of mind frams. We only get them now when we have to many alters near the surface or a newbie comming out.
