This book is such a great help!! I'm so glad Bent wrote this!!
This Book is very interesting and very informative! It breaks down every concern and worry you could think of and gives solutions that are easy to understand. I like how she talks to you as an understanding person that knows that this situation is very unique and scary to be involved with. As scary as it is for a "Little" to begin a relationship it is also very scary for the "Parent" because they don't want to do anything wrong to offend their new partner and this book is a very good read to prepare the "parent" for exactly what they are getting involved with. "Child/Parent" relationships are very different, unique, and complex and something that is considered out of the "normal" so it is very comforting to know that there are others feeling the exact same way and to know that you are never alone. I am so thankful for this book!! It has helped me and my relationship so much!

Great book, highly recommend to dispel incorrect assumptions.
By it's definition any AB or DL is NOT based on a fetish. It's a compulsion, a deeply ingrained way of thinking, or just how our brains work (screwed up I know, but we NEVER choose this for our selves). It is NOT something we can just ignore, push aside, or incorrectly dismiss as some sort of sexual fetish that should be kept hidden at all costs.Rosalie's book goes into much more detail to better explain all of this. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to better understand this.

Your mileage may vary
I bought this to read (before giving to my wife) after being impressed by both the reviews and the freely available introduction.As I read the book myself, I decided I won't be asking her to read it, as I don't feel it applies to me.The author makes a black and white distinction between ageplayers (fetishists) and regressive little ones, with a line in the sand drawn at puberty.For me, it is very gray, and I have aspects of both in my life. As I read some of the discussion I would nod my head, but as I read more and more I did not feel like I was being described. The author makes a lot of assumptions and states them as fact. Even with weasel words to hedge bets, I was still left wanting ("not all little ones like this, but most do" - okay, what does this mean for me when I fall into the "not most" bucket a lot of the time?).I'm sure this works will for some ABs and their partners, but I don't think this will be a useful tool for my relationship.

Good book
Really good book for any couple that's into AB/DL, though this book does mainly focus on regressive AB/DLs. I would point out as well that not everything in this book I agree with. And as such your partner might not either.

An amazing book for the misunderstood little!
This book is really informative and eye opening. I was surprised at how many things it covers. It can be so very hard to try and open up to others and explain something that seems so foreign to everyone. This book is a real tell-all and explains many aspects of the Adult-Baby, If you're an AB, It might not cover everything on you but it will cover a lot, You might even find some stuff you hadn't thought of before. Either way I think it's a great book and I highly recommend for any Little Ones trying to open up to their close one.

Little or not, a very informative book.
This book does a pretty good job of illustrating some of the tendencies of ABDLs and their desired relationships. Being little myself, I was honestly kind of embarrassed how true it was at times. There are a few parts that are kind of 'out there,' but those can be hashed out with your partner, and they really only exist for the purpose of information. Whether you are the partner of a little, or a little yourself, you can learn a lot from this book. Just keep in mind that not all of the information may necessarily apply. This won't be the end-all definitive little's care and ownership guide, but it is a very nice general introduction to some of the ideas.

Fantastic Resource
This book was one of the best purchases I have made! Even as the Little, this book provided additional insight. This book is easy to read and worth reading a couple of times. I read through this first highlighting and taking notes and then shared it with my spouse and they are reading it now. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to better understand this part of their personality and also for helping a partner along on the ride.

Good information
Very informative book if your significant other needs to know why you're an ABDL or wants to know more about what to expect.

Not to be overlooked
I enjoyed this book an found it helpful in many ways of offering a type of 'little' or 'adult baby' experience outside the bounds of sexually focused age play. It offered useful steps in navigating the change and growth in the relationship between caregiver and child when both are consenting adults. It helped to clarify how while the relationship remains between adults at times the 'little' aspect of one of these adults will exert its presence whether the adult like it or not. Offering a way to find strategies so that the 'little in the adult can exist in balance with the adults roles and needs.It pulled no punches about how hard this will be and how it's important that the balance exists for the individual presented with the caregiver role.It did seem to me to give discongurent messages about navigating the feelings of abusiveness in a relationship with a 'litte' or 'adult baby' in the section on sexual relationships it seemed to be saying remember your partner is a consenting adult not a child even if you allow elements of the 'little' to be involved, yet in the section on spanking seemed to advocate a stance your an adult their a child, and they need it. I don't feel from reading the book that these two stances seemed to fit together. However that being said no one reads the same book as another and individuals (we all bring our own interpretations to the text as well as life experience and values) may feel in these areas her stance isn't contradictory.It answered many questions for me about my own experiences with my 'inner children' (and how they didn't fit into the 'adult baby' mold and to be honest into this mold either) although the book is not aimed so much at 'littles' but the 'bigs' in relationships with them.If your partner is an 'adult baby' or 'little' i think this book would be immensely helpful or if you are looking to find an adult who can accept your 'little' as a way of navigating bringing up and defining a road map for the relationship.

Excellent resource and primer
Ms. Bent presents a realistic approach to relationship building with a Little One. From the outset, the author indicates that the discussion she presents can not possible reflect the multiple identifications within the AB realm, and chooses one characterized relationship, that of wife and sissy-baby to broadly represent us all. Her perspective focuses on those little's who she classifies as regressive infantiles in contrast to those who have an AB affinity tightly linked with fetishism. This was a helpful distinction for me. Bent is clearly a behaviouralist in her approach, but also argues well for the need for behavioural modification in instances in which the Little is ruling the roost of the adult. This book can be an excellent resource for couples of any description for whom one is a regressive AB. Her message of taking it slowly is strongly supported by a sense of reality and caring. If you are a Little attempting to help your partner in life become understanding of you, this is a great primer for discussions. If you are the partner of a Little, or one you suspect, this is a safe and responsible look at the options available.

Best $ I feel I ever spent.
As an AB/DL, reading this book was a must because it hit every nail on the (my) head. Page after page confirmed what I have always known, that the keys to wholistic health are in being honest with myself; and accepting, that I simply function better when I wear/use diapers. Diapers are now such a focus of my life, that I only regress in my sleep. Diapers make it possible for me function like an adult, and still be in contact with my little one everywhere and anywhere. Thank You so very much for this book. -Steve
