Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit forthem? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, Isat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play withhim with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy wouldkeep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple,universally available. We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rollingit, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it anhour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attentionand I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
