@wendybp28674 years agoFunny stories: my kids are grown now, so for those of you in it - its not forever! Enjoy the ride. My boys were little, maybe 4 and 5? I was so frustrated w their older sister, at about 4, refused to pick up her toys. So i tell her im going to get a trash bag and throw all her toys away. She says, well then my room will be clean! So now i have to do what i said. She comes up to watch. She hands me a toy and says, here mommy! You better put this in there because im not going to pick it up either. Kids win! And as it turns out, adults probably care way more about the toys than the kids do. ...Expand54

@hollykbae52315 years agoWe rotate books in our house (big reading family) our son (4) and daughter (2) have about 30 books in the living room that are rotated approx every 2 id="hidden9" weeks (or when their interest in reading slows up) the 30 out of rotation fit in one bin in a closet. Recently i sat my son down and asked him (without any input from me at all) to hold each book and tell me if he wants to keep it. I said if he feels very happy and warm about the book, he can keep it if he wants it. There was no wrong answer, every answer that he said would be what happened to the book. If he didnt want the book, he could give it back to me and say give, garbage, or sister. He was done in 2 minutes. He intuitively knew which books he still wanted, and which he was done with. The garbage books (too used to donate) were recycled by him, the books he donated went into a donation box, and the ones he said were good books but too baby for him were left for his sister. My husband and i were surprised about some of the books he gave away, and at his maturity and ease about it. I will be doing this with his toys later. ...Expand7

I love all your videos and have started the process of minimal toys. It is wonderful and i have less to deal with at the end of the day. I just condensed my 2yr olds monster trucks/cars from a huge toy bin down to like 12 of them in a small container. He loves carrying them around and has played more with them.
