If you have kids I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess there are too many toys! It is easy to give in and buy them toys, but honestly,you know it is important to get these toys under control and help your kids at the same time.
This time of year is perfect to set new guidelines and rules for kids of all ages. Time to discard toys that are broken/damaged or your kids have outgrown or simply no longer play with. Time for a hard sort. Toys over 6 months old are probably no longer wanted.
I find it is often harder for the parents to give the toys away than for the kids! True! NO saving because…NO saving toys. There are so many kids that have nothing, show your children how wonderful it is to give to those who have little.
Please remember only give away toys in good or better condition. Give in the condition you would want to receive it in. Find a shelter or church or perhaps a child in your neighborhood. It’s ok to play secret Santa to a family if that makes it easier to give.
The idea is to give and enjoy a “teaching moment” with your kids!
PS…Remember toys come in and equal number of toys must go out, no matter what time of year it is!!!
