[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids are old enough to be semi-reasonable about this, you could ask them to pick out X number of their favorite items to leave out, X number to box up, and the rest to take photos of and get rid of the actual item. If you guys can't bring yourselves to get rid of things, you can box them up and leave them out of the way for awhile, and then revist the boxes to see if you feel ok about letting them go. [/quote] Absolutely agree. I'm really sentimental about things, and so is one of my sons. If I ask the less sentimental child to find things to donate or throw away, he can easily come up with things. The other gets really sad and can only find tiny scraps of things to toss. However, if I box up some of the "treasures" and then revisit them with him in some months, it's easier for him to make decisions about what's really important to him.[/quote]
