In this episode, we talk about something so many families struggle with quietly: toy clutter.

Inspired by Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, I answer a listener’s question about how to keep toys (and clutter) from taking over your home — especially when kids are gifted so many toys, toy rotation feels overwhelming, and letting things go brings guilt.

We’ll talk about:
• why a simpler environment supports children’s nervous systems
• how too many toys affect attention, behavior, and play
• how to decide which toys to keep and which to release
• how to talk to young children about having less
• how to set kind but firm boundaries with extended family
• and how parents can confidently lead the environment of their home

This episode is for parents who want calmer homes, deeper play, and an environment that truly supports their family — without extremes, shame, or perfection.

If clutter has been weighing on you, this conversation will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical next steps.
