[quote=Anonymous]My son (5) chose the toys he wanted to get rid of. A community yard sale was coming up, and I told him he could keep the money he made from selling his toys. We went through everything together and pulled out sentimental, and broken items. Then we went toy by toy and he said “keep” or “sell”. I made no judgment one way or the other (except for the sentimental/broken stuff). I put the keepers away, and the “sell” toys in a basket that left it in his room for a week. He took a couple toys out of the “sell” basket, but mostly left them alone. He sold them at the yard sale, I donated the rest to church and goodwill, and used his money to buy something he wanted at target. I’ll probably repeat again this year. He usually only gets toys for Christmas, his birthday, and maybe one thing on vacation, so getting to buy something outside of those times was a big incentive for him.[/quote]
