[quote=Anonymous]Limit available toys. My kids have a max of 10 toys available in the living room play area, and 10 toys available in each of their bedrooms. That sounds like a lot, but it’s dramatically less than most people have out, I find. You can clean up the mess from 10 toys in 5-8 mins, max. The rest of their toys are packed away in a closet they don’t have access to, and I swap out every month or two. I’m also always culling toys, so we’re not accumulating enormous amounts. Not only does this keep the chaos to a minimum, it also helps them play better. They’re more engaged and focused. There’s research on this: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/singletons/201712/study-underscores-why-fewer-toys-is-the-better-option Once a day, all toys get put away. [/quote]
