I've noticed that a lot in alters it's super cool I'm actually kind of jealous of my Mel, because I'm transmasculine and she just radiates feminity and is surprisingly comfortable in our body for a nonhuman headmate
Jamie darling, its not daft, if what you did helped little Jake to settle and for you guys to have a good sleep, reading a childs book before bed is no where close to being daft! Everyone has their own ways in helping themselves through things and Im glad you managed to find one for him! This video was so nice to listen to, thank you for sharing!
its so reassuring to see someone who works in childcare that has DID. i recently discovered that i have alters, and im studying childcare and work with children as part of my course and its been quite scary so far so seeing someone else who has alters who works with children is very reassuring
Thank you. Such valuable infomation. At work we keep a bottle of bubbles in the desk or purse. We take a short walk outside, find quiet area, bliw out the bad into bubbles and watch em float away then pop and disappear.
I'm an American. Don't steriotype us. I was uneasy that they were using spoons for eating, not measuring. We are not all lazy and stupid just like all of you don't have teeth too big for your mouths.
goodness, Katrina. let’s bring things down a notch. I don’t think Sammy meant anything unkindly. it’s just true. we (I’m American) measure recipes in cups/tablespoons/teaspoons/etc. we don’t literally use tableware like they’re doing here, of course; there are more proper/specific tools. but even if Sammy did intend this comment to be malicious, lashing out about stereotypical traits like teeth won’t help anything. now let’s all go make some playdough and relax. :)
Aww, I'm so glad we got to meet Anna, too! She sounds adorable. Hi Anna! I love giraffes too! Thank you for sharing your beautiful picture with us and your snowman!
I don’t have DID..but I love kinetic sand lol. My brother has autism he has it and I think I play with it more than he does 🤦🏽♀️. He comes in the room and I’m watching a video, sticking my hand in it and he just looks at me like..wtf that’s mine! 😂🤣🤷🏽♀️ I cant help it, I love it.
The actual information content is 15 minutes... the rest enjoying watching two friends have giggle fits! WIN! (I’m exaggerating about content time, it’s a very informative video!🥰)
I experienced the waking up bolt upright and realised we were having night terrors, lots of parts were having different night terrors on the same night and I didn’t really remember them. I loved listening to you all chatting. I learnt so much! Hope you can do more videos like this. 😊
My name is Suzi and I have been diagnosed with DID. I have many littles. I have quite a few teens and adults and two entities (I think) Thank you for Validating my system.
Anna you are a very smart little girl and your picture is beautiful. Thank you so much Jaimie and Tizzy for explaining littles. I have wonderes for some time how a little "works" within a system. Very informative. Love to all
Ah this was a lovely video, really sweet and educational too. Hi Tizzy (and Anna, love the drawing!). Thank you Tizzy for showing that people with DID can hold really valuable and important jobs, I'm sure that will be really helpful representation for a lot of people. I was wondering about how positive triggers might play out so thank you for covering that; I can definitely see how it can be challenging but a massive strength, and the kids you work with are very lucky :) Thank you Jamie for talking about Little Jake, it was really interesting and I've been wondering how he is doing. I hope he's OK. My heart breaks for all the littles in systems that aren't able to play with other kids, especially when it would be so good for them to do so. So I love seeing different ways that people can help littles to express themselves to be happy and safe. I'm an auntie of 7 but they're all getting big now, I wish I could be honorary auntie / big sister / safe adult for any kids, alters or otherwise, who'd need it!
I believe there is a version of making play doh that doesn’t require cooking. My mother was a preschool teacher for 27 years, I can ask her and share if anyone is interested.
Ingredients 2 tbs cooking oil 4 tbs cream of tartar 3 cups plain flour 1 cup salt Food colouring 2 cups water (The same ingredients as the recipe off the back of Mackenzie's brand of cream of tartar but with an extra cup of flour). Method Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Boil water and add food colouring (and any scented oils etc) to the water. Stir boiling water into the dry ingredients. Allow to cool enough to touch, then knead. If sticky keep adding more flour and kneading till it feels like playdough. This is the best recipe I have ever found in all my years working with children. Unfortunately I haven't found a completely heat free one that works as well.
Meeting Anna was so amazing! I have to save this video so our littles can watch! Our littles can feel really lonely having no little friends and things like that can really help.
My partner has at least one little that he isn’t aware of coming out. He is very very 😞 sad. He won’t speak. just looks so sad. Do you guys have any suggestions? The other nite we were at a restaurant when he/she came out and I felt a lil helpless as normally they come out in the car or a few times at home..... this was the 1st time in public. :-) thank you for all you guys do.
@@mybuddyrobin It depends on their inner communication but based on our own experiences, we have a mute alter Ryan! He's a trauma holder and he gets really sad and frustrated sometimes because he can't communicate what he feels around people so he sometimes lashes out. To stop that we allowed him to express himself in a positive manner like with art/writing and stuff! Maybe yourpartner's little could make something for you as a gift and you could explain. That way you understand a little better and your partner's little feels involved!
caden Thanks so much! He isn’t aware when the sad one comes out.... and thus far he won’t speak with me... just looks so sad, shoulders down.... breaks my heart. I do keep saying he is safe... and ask if he wants food or a drink or a anything. My partner is just starting to acknowledge stuff.... He knew how he works but I am the only person who knows. :’( must be so lonely having to hide who you are from everyone. thanks to everyone who is so brave to speak up.
Tizzy gets more and more confident as the video goes on and I LOVE to see it ❤️ She talks in such a lovely way and gives off such a gentle energy. Great video x
Awww this is such an awesome video! I wish more people were open and accepting to, of course DID, but littles too. They literally are just children, and they need their playtime and joy of being a kid, no matter what body they’re in. I don’t have DID myself, I’m a singleton, but I infinitely support DID, and believe in a more open minded world full of love and peace between everybody.
My littles and I really enjoyed this video. Everything both of you said was so helpful and it was fun watching the playdoh being made. I think we will try it in our kitchen. We do things at night to help ourselves too
I resonate with Anna wanting to play on swings. My littles constantly want to play on playgrounds or in the kid area at the mall near my house...but everyone just sees the weird adult body and not the happy kids inside
EASY RECIPE FOR HEAT FREE HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH 4 dl flour (400 ml) 2 dl salt (200 ml) 2 dl water (200 ml) 2 tbs (15 ml) rapeseed oil (I think any oil you have at home would work though) Food colouring and essential oils* • Mix the flour, salt, water and oil until it becomes a lump-free dough. If the dough is too dry, add more water, and if the dough is too wet, add more flour. If you’re not sure if the dough is too wet, hold some of it in your hand and let it droop down. If it stretches, the dough is too loose. • Colour the dough to a colour you like with the food colouring (if you don’t have any at home you can skip this step. You can also separate the dough and make each section a different colour!) and add a few drops of essential oils if you’d like! • Have fun! BONUS! If you’ve made something you’d like to save, here’s how: Put your figure, or whatever you’ve made, in the oven (*if you plan on doing this, I’d suggest not adding any essential oils!) for 2-4 hours with your oven set to 100˚C. The time it takes for your figure to be done depends on the size and thickness of it. Let it cool down, and then you can either leave it as is or paint it with acrylic paints! This is a recipe most swedish schools, preschools and nurseries use. We call it ’trolldeg’ which literally translates to making-magic-dough! The things I made with this playdough, that were baked upon completion, when I was little (I’m 22 now) are still holding up. I saw one of my...eh...wonderful creations when I last visited my grandma, so you don’t have to worry about your figures going bad if you dry them out in the oven! I wish for all of you to be safe and happy and I’m sending you all the love and light I can muster!
(oops I accidentally clicked to edit my comment, but I saw that MultiplicityAndMe liked it beforehand! it dissappeared after I edited the comment though, but i just wanted to say that I did indeed see it! thanks!)
Jamie is so insightful! He has such a good understanding of everything going on with everyone (I remember Ed saying Jamie had interpreted his role as a misguided protector) so charming and intelligent
Awesome video guys 👍 Great info and so much fun. Having loads of Littles definitely keeps life interesting, but also really magical in so many ways. Over 30 Littles here 😊 A big thank you to Anna for being so brave and sharing. ❤️❤️❤️
We work in a Library doing storytime for preschoolers. We did play dough a few weeks ago and the littles were so loud! I had to take some home with me for them. - Sav
Thanks for talking about bed, panic attacks and making it a fun and safe bed routine. And the need to re parent and re kid That's been happening both as a kid-ish And a few years ago the adult trauma that was connected to the bed and bedroom. Currently the kid issues of being afraid to go to sleep had been un bearable. Thanks for the ideas
Wow I absolutely loved this video! Tizzy, I am also a caregiver for both littles and physical children. Thank you for talking about your experiences, I related a lot. I also loved Anna's drawing!🦒💚~Lily
This is a wonderful video! Our littles enjoyed it very much. We did have a bit of trouble understanding you guys's 'cross the pond English (we're in the USA), but we managed, lol.
I’ve been looking into education and pedagogy courses and it helped me immensely with my troop of littles, found that Waldorf works out very well for most of us (you can’t make EVERYONEs dream of safety come true but you definitely can try implementing an arrangement of activities that all alters can participate in one if they want), also been looking at Unschooling and other homeschooling methods, I’ve been looking for an educational coach now and I think going down this pass makes the system feel better and United and regulated which is AMAZING. respecting and loving each other makes a big difference too. You can make yourself an education system like me, which helps a lot with taking care of different needs and getting to know your “care staff” and your kids or alters. you can choose from this and that and find what your system is needing really now and do twenty minutes a day which makes a big difference. I find its essential to deal with littles, it is way harder to go about life feeling upset all the time. Finding what makes your system at ease helps to find answers to your questions and find inner strength where it’s most needed. And most of all, grow inner comfort all throughout the system.
I just love it how Jamie spills everything while Tizzy talks. So funny. What did Ed think about it? Because Ed is so good at cooking that it must've been an enjoyable experience :D. Greetings from Colombia and I love your channel, guys.
Thank-you for being (all of) you! It's been scary, and your channel was the first I found, a few years back. Our little was so happy to see this, today. Things have been really hard, and there hasn't been much help. Thank-you, so much... She started this post, but I ended up at the front. So, thanks from both of us (...hell, all of us)!
We used to make bath salts and bath bombs with our support workers - it was a great sensory thing for little Ellie to stick her hands in and mix it and get messy but added bonus that I got a nice bath bomb to use for me!
Cat butt :P lol Watching this made my day ^_^ and I'm grateful for the ideas for the kids in our system. OMG! The middle of the night panic attacks are so familiar! Now I think I know what's going on and who it is in our system having issues at night. Thank you for that!
Multiplicity and Me is my favorite system. Love you all 😍 I feel like you guys have one of the most organized systems. Each person is so different yet I love each of you. Plus I can keep up since there are only 5 main ones lol
We'd really hope that in future videos you'd call all littles innocent. Not just trauma free littles. Little trauma holders are innocent too, also when they really don't feel like it. With trauma free little you can have back the sense of innocence that trauma holders lack, but that is something to help them (trauma holders) with, not agree with them. I know you didn't mean it that way, or didn't mean to be offensive. This is just highly triggering subject to us, and we thought something you do wanna be more considerate about, that's why we said it aloud. I understood what you meant and that it's hard to keep in mind all that can trigger someone because literally anything can, but all of us didn't understand it, because they hear what they believe is true. We do love you guys and your channel, so this is meant to be constructive.
Here in Norway we all grew up making something we call «trolldeig»(trolls dough directly translated), it’s exactly like play doh but without the pre cooking/boiling of the dough. Ingredienses are: 2 cups/parts flour, 1 cup/part salt and 1 cup/part water, and you just mix it up and you’re ready to go. You can make whatever you want of it, and when we’re finished we then we put it in the oven and dry them until they’re completely dry at 70-80 degrees celsius. When they’re dry you can take ordinary paint and paint your figures. It takes less than 5 Minutes to make:)
my sister has just relapsed into full DID and I just met an alter for the first time this morning. We've talked about it quite a bit, but I'd never met one before. I'm not freaking out exactly (and I absolutely will not in front of them, especially not yet), and I think we're communicating well, but ho boy
DID isn't really something to grow out of and relapse into. It's always going to be who your sister is! But maybe it helps to look at it from this angle: your sister is comfortable enough around you to let you get to know more sides to her. Those alters you met/ will be meeting might have been staying back and assessing you to see whether you're a safe person to be around. So you must have done something right! Congratulations! 😊
@@alexk7973 Well, the thing is, she had it for quite a while, and never told me and I never guessed. She had an entire experience where they all, like, reintegrated or whatever (I just literally can't think of the word right now) a year or two ago, and she thought she was permanently "better." And then she fell and hit her head and they came back. I do feel privileged to know them now, but I think it's a little upsetting for her, too.
@@symphony_in_plaid4592 it would be upsetting to think you were cured of what you percieved as a disease and then find out you weren't. Did is a condition that, once the brain has learned the mechanism, it can always repeat it, when it feels the need to. If the alters she has met now are exactly the same as before, they might have never properly integrated, but rather quieted down, either because they thought she could handle life without their help or because she was too upset by them? The idea of did is, that the person you know as your sister is only the part that fronts most, but is just as much part of who the essence of your sister is, as anyone else in the system. The person you know best is charged with handling every day life, kind of like the “outside-ambassador“ for everybody. So if the brain thought, she was too upset by knowing about her alters, it might have just built up really strong walls around them so she wouldn't feel the other alters anymore and feel like she was cured... maybe if the person in the system you know best is able to communicate with the others, she can find out what happened to them exactly during the past few years! I'm wishing you, her and her entire system all the best!
We always have a really hard time sleeping or just night time in general but I found that all our littles love being read to. so we play audiobooks all night so if anyone wakes up freaked out they have something comforting to listen to and think about. Must have listened to the happy potter books 101 times reach by now lol
Great ideas for littles, thank you for sharing! We use stories and ‘In The Night Garden’ to make bed time safe for our littles who get anxiety at night. We also have a non-verbal little who uses basic sign language to express their needs - not full sentences, but they can do ‘please’ and ‘love you’ and some words like ‘drink’ or ‘tired’. (We just found an app that has video clips for words that you can search, we’re not trained in it or anything.) It’s so effective that another little has started copying because it’s often easier to get my hands to move than to try to communicate internally! I can also pass it off as an itch if they do it in work 😉 - Jay
I really liked this video, even if I don't have the patience to "cook" playdough. Tizzy, does your workplace know about your DID system? I hope they are supportive and help you when you need to have a break or find a safe space. I'm sure your littles and your experiences help you to be amazing at your job. I love workplaces where you can be your own weird selves. I don't have DID but I sometimes dissociate (anxiety/depression and a little trauma), but most importantly I get to indulge myself in some of those childhood things that some people think adults shouldn't be allowed to do. I'm a Science teacher so I'm always learning new things, playing with sensory toys or experiments, and having animated discussions about memes and favourite dinosaurs and things instead of "boring" adult talk like mortgages and politics. I feed off the energy of my students, which is great when they're young and excited but not so great when they're older, disengaged and always on their phones. This video reminds me to keep trying to engage with my students no matter how much of a struggle it is.
You sound like a passionate teacher 😊 They know of our diagnosis, but they do not know our system. It is always ensured it is only Tizzy who fronts for work, similarly to it only being Jess who fronts for her job. But our littles do enjoy being co-con for some activities 😊
Is it really weird to say adults need to learn to play again? As a fysical therapist that's what I do all day. 🤷🏼♀️🙈 Thnx for sharing your experiences and thank Anne for her add. Loved to hear her.🤗
Thank you so much, I'm just going through the early stages of realising that I am part of a system... And one of my littles is very interested in being out... All the time
One thing I find really interesting is the different relationships people have with the internet when it comes to their littles. I guess Tizzy shared because they aren’t always on the internet but for people like the DissociaDid system they share nothing about their littles in order to protect them from people who might exploit them.
Hey - our littles do not use any social media or messaging platforms at all to avoid any being exploited. We are stable enough as a system to be able to protect ourselves on the internet.
So we were trying to watch this video for fun and education, but we completely dissociated through the whole video. I still don't really know who i am and eh what we were trying to say was like, we have around 8 littles from the age of 12-6 and 2 age sliders, and we usually start to really panic when one fronts cause we don't know what to do. We're over 40 people with only 7 adults (8,if you count 1 age slider too) ,so alot of us don't know how to deal with it in situations with family or in public in general. (we're a young questioning osdd 1b system,so that's fun) and yeah- I started rambling eh, sorry if there are any spelling errors I'm just really tired. It's 4:45 in the morning and I don't know why we're awake- help-
I find it fascinating that systems can have littles, of course it does make a lot of sense. I mainly was surprised, because i, myself, am a little, but i dont have DID. It does feel like having another person sharing your mind as a little, when something triggers littlespace it feels like your little side is "fronting" i think. Of course i dont have DID so i dont know what that feels like, but from what has been described, it makes sense to littlespace too. (Edit: age regression, I meant. I hadnt learned proper terms when this post was written)
@@juliuspearson4202 being a little is NOT a kink. I have age regression from trauma as well. Dont judge me for something others do. I am not an age player. I am an age regressor.
Michaela Nuttall hi, I know this is an old post just thought it might be worth mentioning that maybe you should specify that you mean age regression in future? Just because I think most people’s awareness of ‘being little’ and especially the term ‘littlespace’ is associated with the kink side of things - I must admit that is what I assumed from reading your original post (sorry) It seems unfair for people to reply to you in an upsetting way just because they are assuming your talking about a kink-based situation, so might be worth clarifying for your own self care. I hope you’re well and good luck on your trauma recovery journey x
Tizzy seems like a real sweetheart! Edit: wow, that play-doh looks great! Anna is lovely, I like McDonald’s, animals and art too! Monty is a really vocal sweetie 😂 Much love to you all
Im tying two typ wyl 2 year old with same name (Jamie) is fronting and he is quite entertained and there is a thing where Jamieblikes fronting end of school hours like afterschool and at integrations of math for 10th grade (being in 11th on the 14th tis month and we ar body wise gona be 17 year old and its hard while havingvmany other mental conditions) and just we have 4 littles as far as we know and now lenore is being active and she slides from 4 to 8 and i can't mentally do much but great video
I’m just discovering my system and I have 2 littles so far and a couple of older kids too. But the littles are very little (3&5) I don’t have very strong communication with the 3 yr old quite yet but she seems to be a happy girl but my 5yo little is very sad all the time she has a bear and I’d like tips on how to help her when she’s out.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear she is sad. Have you discovered any films or cartoons she likes? Activities such as colouring in or age appropriate puzzles may be fun for her too.
So far we know she likes cookie dough ice cream, and stuffed animals. We got her a nice big teddy so that she could feel small when out. We have a lot of art stuff so I’ll definitely suggest my husband give her some next time she’s out.

My partner has at least one little that he isn’t aware of coming out. He is very very 😞 sad. He won’t speak. just looks so sad. Do you guys have any suggestions? The other nite we were at a restaurant when he/she came out and I felt a lil helpless as normally they come out in the car or a few times at home..... this was the 1st time in public. :-) thank you for all you guys do.
@@mybuddyrobin It depends on their inner communication but based on our own experiences, we have a mute alter Ryan! He's a trauma holder and he gets really sad and frustrated sometimes because he can't communicate what he feels around people so he sometimes lashes out. To stop that we allowed him to express himself in a positive manner like with art/writing and stuff! Maybe yourpartner's little could make something for you as a gift and you could explain. That way you understand a little better and your partner's little feels involved!
caden Thanks so much! He isn’t aware when the sad one comes out.... and thus far he won’t speak with me... just looks so sad, shoulders down.... breaks my heart.
I do keep saying he is safe... and ask if he wants food or a drink or a anything. My partner is just starting to acknowledge stuff.... He knew how he works but I am the only person who knows. :’( must be so lonely having to hide who you are from everyone.
thanks to everyone who is so brave to speak up.
@@mybuddyrobin I hope things are going good for the little, your partners whole system and you.
Tizzy gets more and more confident as the video goes on and I LOVE to see it ❤️ She talks in such a lovely way and gives off such a gentle energy. Great video x
What kind words, thank you! And yes, I was rather anxious as never done any videos before x
Awww this is such an awesome video! I wish more people were open and accepting to, of course DID, but littles too. They literally are just children, and they need their playtime and joy of being a kid, no matter what body they’re in. I don’t have DID myself, I’m a singleton, but I infinitely support DID, and believe in a more open minded world full of love and peace between everybody.
What a lovely message 😊 thanks for being so supportive!
I have a little in my system which is stuck in time very badly. So glad you made this video. Really great info too!
Anna’s drawing was amazing and thank you both for showing the recipe I’m sure our littles will love some play doh
Thank you - she will be pleased you like her picture!
My littles and I really enjoyed this video. Everything both of you said was so helpful and it was fun watching the playdoh being made. I think we will try it in our kitchen. We do things at night to help ourselves too
I have officially found the purest video on the internet ♥️
Thats really sweet 💕
I resonate with Anna wanting to play on swings. My littles constantly want to play on playgrounds or in the kid area at the mall near my house...but everyone just sees the weird adult body and not the happy kids inside
Anna, your drawing was adorable. Thank you Tizzy and Jamie for such a great video!
Thank you!
It just shows that Jamie and Ed are such caring, kind parents, in being able to help get Little Jake through the nighttime panic attacks around a bed.
EASY RECIPE FOR HEAT FREE HOMEMADE PLAYDOUGH
4 dl flour (400 ml)
2 dl salt (200 ml)
2 dl water (200 ml)
2 tbs (15 ml) rapeseed oil (I think any oil you have at home would work though)
Food colouring and essential oils*
• Mix the flour, salt, water and oil until it becomes a lump-free dough. If the dough is too dry, add more water, and if the dough is too wet, add more flour. If you’re not sure if the dough is too wet, hold some of it in your hand and let it droop down. If it stretches, the dough is too loose.
• Colour the dough to a colour you like with the food colouring (if you don’t have any at home you can skip this step. You can also separate the dough and make each section a different colour!) and add a few drops of essential oils if you’d like!
• Have fun!
BONUS! If you’ve made something you’d like to save, here’s how: Put your figure, or whatever you’ve made, in the oven (*if you plan on doing this, I’d suggest not adding any essential oils!) for 2-4 hours with your oven set to 100˚C. The time it takes for your figure to be done depends on the size and thickness of it. Let it cool down, and then you can either leave it as is or paint it with acrylic paints!
This is a recipe most swedish schools, preschools and nurseries use. We call it ’trolldeg’ which literally translates to making-magic-dough! The things I made with this playdough, that were baked upon completion, when I was little (I’m 22 now) are still holding up. I saw one of my...eh...wonderful creations when I last visited my grandma, so you don’t have to worry about your figures going bad if you dry them out in the oven! I wish for all of you to be safe and happy and I’m sending you all the love and light I can muster!
(oops I accidentally clicked to edit my comment, but I saw that MultiplicityAndMe liked it beforehand! it dissappeared after I edited the comment though, but i just wanted to say that I did indeed see it! thanks!)
Jamie is so insightful! He has such a good understanding of everything going on with everyone (I remember Ed saying Jamie had interpreted his role as a misguided protector) so charming and intelligent
Anna's segment was so cute oh my gosh
Awh thanks!
Awesome video guys 👍
Great info and so much fun.
Having loads of Littles definitely keeps life interesting, but also really magical in so many ways.
Over 30 Littles here 😊
A big thank you to Anna for being so brave and sharing.
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for such lovely words!
Definitely making this for our alter with anxiety
You two are so adorable and funny together, and the homemade play doh is an awesome idea!
Anna seems like such a sweetheart 🥺
She is! She is a very funny and clever child
We work in a Library doing storytime for preschoolers. We did play dough a few weeks ago and the littles were so loud! I had to take some home with me for them. - Sav
Jamie with the cream of tartar was driving me absolutely mad 😂😂
Thanks for talking about bed, panic attacks and making it a fun and safe bed routine.
And the need to re parent and re kid
That's been happening both as a kid-ish
And a few years ago the adult trauma that was connected to the bed and bedroom.
Currently the kid issues of being afraid to go to sleep had been un bearable.
Thanks for the ideas
Jamie I love your personality. You are so cool, fun and chill. It was very nice of Anna to join too :)
this is the most pure video ever :)
Wow I absolutely loved this video!
Tizzy, I am also a caregiver for both littles and physical children. Thank you for talking about your experiences, I related a lot. I also loved Anna's drawing!🦒💚~Lily
You're amazing thanks for the support
This is a wonderful video! Our littles enjoyed it very much. We did have a bit of trouble understanding you guys's 'cross the pond English (we're in the USA), but we managed, lol.
I’ve been looking into education and pedagogy courses and it helped me immensely with my troop of littles, found that Waldorf works out very well for most of us (you can’t make EVERYONEs dream of safety come true but you definitely can try implementing an arrangement of activities that all alters can participate in one if they want), also been looking at Unschooling and other homeschooling methods, I’ve been looking for an educational coach now and I think going down this pass makes the system feel better and United and regulated which is AMAZING. respecting and loving each other makes a big difference too. You can make yourself an education system like me, which helps a lot with taking care of different needs and getting to know your “care staff” and your kids or alters. you can choose from this and that and find what your system is needing really now and do twenty minutes a day which makes a big difference. I find its essential to deal with littles, it is way harder to go about life feeling upset all the time. Finding what makes your system at ease helps to find answers to your questions and find inner strength where it’s most needed. And most of all, grow inner comfort all throughout the system.
Loved this so much! Sending everyone in both systems lots of love.
I just love it how Jamie spills everything while Tizzy talks. So funny. What did Ed think about it? Because Ed is so good at cooking that it must've been an enjoyable experience :D. Greetings from Colombia and I love your channel, guys.
Jamie asking great questions! What a fun and informative video. You two are too cute.
Thank you Tizzy and Jake! Great info and the playdoh looks so fun!💕
Anna is so precious oml
Thank you! 🥰
Thank-you for being (all of) you! It's been scary, and your channel was the first I found, a few years back. Our little was so happy to see this, today. Things have been really hard, and there hasn't been much help. Thank-you, so much... She started this post, but I ended up at the front. So, thanks from both of us (...hell, all of us)!
I love this .. Beautiful moment seeing both of you bond in such a calming and peaceful way ❤
We used to make bath salts and bath bombs with our support workers - it was a great sensory thing for little Ellie to stick her hands in and mix it and get messy but added bonus that I got a nice bath bomb to use for me!
Cat butt :P lol
Watching this made my day ^_^ and I'm grateful for the ideas for the kids in our system.
OMG! The middle of the night panic attacks are so familiar! Now I think I know what's going on and who it is in our system having issues at night. Thank you for that!
Multiplicity and Me is my favorite system. Love you all 😍 I feel like you guys have one of the most organized systems. Each person is so different yet I love each of you. Plus I can keep up since there are only 5 main ones lol
it was lovely to get to meet Anna
Jamie! How are ya, mate? It was so nice to meet little Anna! Thank you Anna for introducing yourself! You are a darling!
We'd really hope that in future videos you'd call all littles innocent. Not just trauma free littles. Little trauma holders are innocent too, also when they really don't feel like it. With trauma free little you can have back the sense of innocence that trauma holders lack, but that is something to help them (trauma holders) with, not agree with them.
I know you didn't mean it that way, or didn't mean to be offensive. This is just highly triggering subject to us, and we thought something you do wanna be more considerate about, that's why we said it aloud. I understood what you meant and that it's hard to keep in mind all that can trigger someone because literally anything can, but all of us didn't understand it, because they hear what they believe is true.
We do love you guys and your channel, so this is meant to be constructive.
Thats very true, of course they are innocent. I guess for us we mean it as care free
Here in Norway we all grew up making something we call «trolldeig»(trolls dough directly translated), it’s exactly like play doh but without the pre cooking/boiling of the dough. Ingredienses are: 2 cups/parts flour, 1 cup/part salt and 1 cup/part water, and you just mix it up and you’re ready to go. You can make whatever you want of it, and when we’re finished we then we put it in the oven and dry them until they’re completely dry at 70-80 degrees celsius. When they’re dry you can take ordinary paint and paint your figures. It takes less than 5 Minutes to make:)
Oh Tizzy!! I followed you on Tumblr before you took a break! I love you all ❤️❤️❤️
Hello! We use Insta more now, come find us there!
Anna is such a brave cutie. "A littke in a BIG body made smile soo big ! Lovely one. 😻 And very interesting video. 👀👏
" I stalked you and now we're friends" xD I can relate. I stalked my now husband hahaha
my sister has just relapsed into full DID and I just met an alter for the first time this morning. We've talked about it quite a bit, but I'd never met one before. I'm not freaking out exactly (and I absolutely will not in front of them, especially not yet), and I think we're communicating well, but ho boy
DID isn't really something to grow out of and relapse into. It's always going to be who your sister is! But maybe it helps to look at it from this angle: your sister is comfortable enough around you to let you get to know more sides to her. Those alters you met/ will be meeting might have been staying back and assessing you to see whether you're a safe person to be around. So you must have done something right! Congratulations! 😊
@@alexk7973 Well, the thing is, she had it for quite a while, and never told me and I never guessed. She had an entire experience where they all, like, reintegrated or whatever (I just literally can't think of the word right now) a year or two ago, and she thought she was permanently "better." And then she fell and hit her head and they came back.
I do feel privileged to know them now, but I think it's a little upsetting for her, too.
@@symphony_in_plaid4592 it would be upsetting to think you were cured of what you percieved as a disease and then find out you weren't. Did is a condition that, once the brain has learned the mechanism, it can always repeat it, when it feels the need to. If the alters she has met now are exactly the same as before, they might have never properly integrated, but rather quieted down, either because they thought she could handle life without their help or because she was too upset by them? The idea of did is, that the person you know as your sister is only the part that fronts most, but is just as much part of who the essence of your sister is, as anyone else in the system. The person you know best is charged with handling every day life, kind of like the “outside-ambassador“ for everybody. So if the brain thought, she was too upset by knowing about her alters, it might have just built up really strong walls around them so she wouldn't feel the other alters anymore and feel like she was cured... maybe if the person in the system you know best is able to communicate with the others, she can find out what happened to them exactly during the past few years! I'm wishing you, her and her entire system all the best!
Alex K waw.... phenomenal.
Before the video gets past five seconds thats JAMIE!
We always have a really hard time sleeping or just night time in general but I found that all our littles love being read to. so we play audiobooks all night so if anyone wakes up freaked out they have something comforting to listen to and think about. Must have listened to the happy potter books 101 times reach by now lol
Oh and I like to add lavender flowers to the playduh as well as the oil. The flowers small nice and makes it feel interesting :-)
Its a couple of nights later but I still wish you all a good night sleep and fun hearing harry potter.
This video was awesome, we especially liked getting to meet little Anna.

Great ideas for littles, thank you for sharing! We use stories and ‘In The Night Garden’ to make bed time safe for our littles who get anxiety at night. We also have a non-verbal little who uses basic sign language to express their needs - not full sentences, but they can do ‘please’ and ‘love you’ and some words like ‘drink’ or ‘tired’. (We just found an app that has video clips for words that you can search, we’re not trained in it or anything.) It’s so effective that another little has started copying because it’s often easier to get my hands to move than to try to communicate internally! I can also pass it off as an itch if they do it in work 😉 - Jay
We use Makaton like Mr Tumble does and we try to teach our littles this - we also use it at work so that helps
TizzyRainbow I hadn’t heard of that and just looked it up and it looks perfect! Much more engaging than our app, thank you! ❤️
I really liked this video, even if I don't have the patience to "cook" playdough.
Tizzy, does your workplace know about your DID system? I hope they are supportive and help you when you need to have a break or find a safe space. I'm sure your littles and your experiences help you to be amazing at your job.
I love workplaces where you can be your own weird selves. I don't have DID but I sometimes dissociate (anxiety/depression and a little trauma), but most importantly I get to indulge myself in some of those childhood things that some people think adults shouldn't be allowed to do. I'm a Science teacher so I'm always learning new things, playing with sensory toys or experiments, and having animated discussions about memes and favourite dinosaurs and things instead of "boring" adult talk like mortgages and politics. I feed off the energy of my students, which is great when they're young and excited but not so great when they're older, disengaged and always on their phones. This video reminds me to keep trying to engage with my students no matter how much of a struggle it is.
You sound like a passionate teacher 😊
They know of our diagnosis, but they do not know our system. It is always ensured it is only Tizzy who fronts for work, similarly to it only being Jess who fronts for her job. But our littles do enjoy being co-con for some activities 😊
Is it really weird to say adults need to learn to play again? As a fysical therapist that's what I do all day. 🤷🏼♀️🙈
Thnx for sharing your experiences and thank Anne for her add. Loved to hear her.🤗
Jess, your natural hair color is beautiful!
Anna is adorable!
Awh thanks 🥰
Thank you so much, I'm just going through the early stages of realising that I am part of a system... And one of my littles is very interested in being out... All the time
One thing I find really interesting is the different relationships people have with the internet when it comes to their littles. I guess Tizzy shared because they aren’t always on the internet but for people like the DissociaDid system they share nothing about their littles in order to protect them from people who might exploit them.
Hey - our littles do not use any social media or messaging platforms at all to avoid any being exploited. We are stable enough as a system to be able to protect ourselves on the internet.
This was such a fun and educating video, and It was so lovely to hear from Anna she is such a sweet, little artist :)
Thank you, Anna will be pleased you think so!
I'm so glad :)
Somehow I knew it was Jamie just from the thumbnail 🤗
I've never heard of this recipe before-I should try it next time I make play-doh at the children's centre
I love how there using a cup not a cup sized Measurer.
That play-doh looks amazing!! I have got to try this
Definitely gonna have to make this for our little. I'm sure they'd really get a kick out of it! ♥
So we were trying to watch this video for fun and education, but we completely dissociated through the whole video. I still don't really know who i am and eh what we were trying to say was like, we have around 8 littles from the age of 12-6 and 2 age sliders, and we usually start to really panic when one fronts cause we don't know what to do. We're over 40 people with only 7 adults (8,if you count 1 age slider too) ,so alot of us don't know how to deal with it in situations with family or in public in general. (we're a young questioning osdd 1b system,so that's fun) and yeah- I started rambling eh, sorry if there are any spelling errors I'm just really tired. It's 4:45 in the morning and I don't know why we're awake- help-
Aww Anna that was a lovely message 😍
Thanks so much 💕
Anna is adorable. Tizzy, you should make videos.
Thats very kind of you to say 💕
There are homemade playdoh recipes that are edible, google or Pinterest searches will give loads of sensory ideas for littles and kiddos.
I find it fascinating that systems can have littles, of course it does make a lot of sense. I mainly was surprised, because i, myself, am a little, but i dont have DID. It does feel like having another person sharing your mind as a little, when something triggers littlespace it feels like your little side is "fronting" i think. Of course i dont have DID so i dont know what that feels like, but from what has been described, it makes sense to littlespace too.
(Edit: age regression, I meant. I hadnt learned proper terms when this post was written)
dont equate our trauma-based disorder with your kink.
@@juliuspearson4202 being a little is NOT a kink. I have age regression from trauma as well. Dont judge me for something others do. I am not an age player. I am an age regressor.
@@juliuspearson4202 i have some horrible trauma and you dont have the right to assume that my (therapist approved) coping mechanism is a kink.
Michaela Nuttall hi, I know this is an old post just thought it might be worth mentioning that maybe you should specify that you mean age regression in future? Just because I think most people’s awareness of ‘being little’ and especially the term ‘littlespace’ is associated with the kink side of things - I must admit that is what I assumed from reading your original post (sorry)
It seems unfair for people to reply to you in an upsetting way just because they are assuming your talking about a kink-based situation, so might be worth clarifying for your own self care. I hope you’re well and good luck on your trauma recovery journey x
@@vamvam7690 True, true. Sorry about that, ive since learned better terms for it so Ill be more careful
Anna is so sweet. Much love 💕
Thank you lovely! And love to you!
Tizzy seems like a real sweetheart!
Edit: wow, that play-doh looks great! Anna is lovely, I like McDonald’s, animals and art too! Monty is a really vocal sweetie 😂 Much love to you all
Awh thanks for the lovely comments!
This made me super happy 😊😊 I like you both
Im tying two typ wyl 2 year old with same name (Jamie) is fronting and he is quite entertained and there is a thing where Jamieblikes fronting end of school hours like afterschool and at integrations of math for 10th grade (being in 11th on the 14th tis month and we ar body wise gona be 17 year old and its hard while havingvmany other mental conditions) and just we have 4 littles as far as we know and now lenore is being active and she slides from 4 to 8 and i can't mentally do much but great video
I hope 11th grad started good for you.
I’m just discovering my system and I have 2 littles so far and a couple of older kids too. But the littles are very little (3&5) I don’t have very strong communication with the 3 yr old quite yet but she seems to be a happy girl but my 5yo little is very sad all the time she has a bear and I’d like tips on how to help her when she’s out.
Hi, I'm sorry to hear she is sad. Have you discovered any films or cartoons she likes? Activities such as colouring in or age appropriate puzzles may be fun for her too.
So far we know she likes cookie dough ice cream, and stuffed animals. We got her a nice big teddy so that she could feel small when out. We have a lot of art stuff so I’ll definitely suggest my husband give her some next time she’s out.
