Episode 2407: Rose Lounsbury shares three effective strategies to declutter children's toys, resulting in less mess and more meaningful play. By purging unused items, setting practical limits, and embracing minimalism, parents can foster their children's creativity while reclaiming a more organized living space. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://roselounsbury.com/toy-purge/ Quotes to ponder: "Do my kids play with you? And by 'play,' I mean regularly engage with for extended periods of time." "Set out less toys than you think your kids will actually play with. Offer what you consider a paltry number of playthings and watch what happens." "You will be amazed. First, your kids probably won't care that there aren't copious amounts of plastic dinosaurs and board books about."
