When Everything's A Favorite


Listen Later

Our kids have big feelings about their stuff. In many homes, the mere suggestion of a toy and treasure decluttering sesh initiates a gargantuan cleanup battle. 

Are your kiddos running out of space to store their special things? If so, it may be time to teach them the important skill of discerning their favorites from the minutia.

Drama-free decluttering with kids is possible! Today I speak with shopaholic-turned-minimalist Mary Simpson about the ways in which she empowers her children to make difficult decisions about their stuff.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:30] First things first: We respect our children by respecting their stuff

[9:30] Drowning in artwork and school papers? Here's what to do

[15:00] How many childhood mementos should you keep?

[26:00] Containers are your friend!
