You find that most of your headmates are excellent company for toddlers - afterall, most of you are aquainted very well with people who are only now taking their first steps in this world, and have lots and lots and lots of simple, or annoying, or difficult, or complex questions to ask, and you know how to easily explain a lot of seemingly hard to grasp concepts because of that. Moreover, your sixth sense for when the littles are plotting trouble is really useful in such situations.

Some types of switching for us
I would recommend just taking your time. You have a lifetime to figure things out, and from my experience the faster you try to learn about your system/get to know your headmates the more likely you are to have a denial phase. I used to cycle really badly between denial and trying to accept my system, and I only started making progress when I got to a point where I accepted that my little brain guys are around, but I donโt need to figure everything out immediately. Slowly easing into getting to know everyone and listen to them has worked really well for me, but if you find a better way by all means take it :)
guys i set up a simply plural what do i do now
also update: i havent gotten anyone to front yet other than that night
also i can hear my headmates (i think) but it feels like im just imagining them saying things instead of them actually saying things
the future should be plural
children should not be abused to the point of their brains physically altering itself and shattering itself to protect itself. Children should not have trauma. Children should not have to go through this. When we say the future is plural it means having a society that supports plural folks and works to make sure people have spaces to heal from trauma. No one is obsessed with traumatizing children to make new systems. Anyone who thinks that doesn't think very highly of children. Just no.
Not super active because plural communities intimidate me (the host, Jay) but trying to be more open so I donโt suppress things Again. No clue how my system formed, but Iโm definitely endo supportive.
