The Daddy/Mommy/Little Dynamic is a relational framework often found within the context of BDSM and kink, specifically within age play, where one partner assumes a nurturing or caretaking role, typically referred to as "Daddy" or "Mommy," while the other partner embodies a more childlike, playful, or submissive role, commonly referred to as the "Little."

In this dynamic, the Daddy or Mommy provides guidance, support, and an environment that fosters safety and trust, often taking on responsibilities such as setting rules, providing rewards, or administering discipline. The Little engages in behaviors that reflect a younger or less mature mindset, which can include playful activities, speech, or dress. This can range from innocent play, such as coloring or playing games, to deeper emotional connections that involve vulnerability and trust.

The interactions within this dynamic can vary significantly between individuals and may include elements of nurturing, affection, and sometimes discipline, tailored to the comfort and consent of both partners. It’s essential that all aspects of the Daddy/Mommy/Little Dynamic are consensual and discussed openly to establish boundaries, desires, and safe words, ensuring a positive experience for all involved.

In this dynamic, one partner takes on the role of a parental figure (referred to as the "Daddy" or "Mommy"), while the other partner adopts a childlike persona (referred to as the "Little").
