BeeCycling has moved@Ponygirl @Natasha_Jay There's a minimalist YouTuber I watch sometimes who has two young sons. They've got a sensible number of toys, the ones they grow out of get donated as soon as they're done and while still in good condition, rather than cluttering the place up, and the boys seem perfectly happy with the toys and books and puzzles etc they have. But good gravy you should see the comments she gets that her kids are "deprived" because their rooms aren't crammed floor to ceiling with toys.
@beecycling @Natasha_Jay Good for her. Quite likely her children will be able to maintain attention to their studies, chores, even conversations better. There are so many other ways to love your children (and grandchildren, as grandparents could be the main toy purchasers, flooding homes with junk made in China), than to buy more toys.
Maria Gatta@beecycling @Ponygirl @Natasha_Jay we keep it sensible at home too, only a few toys at a time (rotate them as needed) and it works great. But sometimes it does look... empty 😅
I must confess I do buy a lot of books for my toddler, but likewise they are rotated to avoid too much stuff (this is our current selection, on a low table for her to grab as she wishes).
I am intrigued, mind sharing the YouTubers channel?

Minimalism changed my life and it can change yours! I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones -- and $25,000 of debt -- to my name. Now, I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and - best of all - wake up to a life that I'm EXCITED to live every day. Minimalism is so much more than an empty white space - it's about creating a happier space for your family. A space that's full of the most important thing: LOVE! That's what being a minimalist mom means to me! Now my mission is to help real families just like us conquer their clutter and simplify their way to a happier and better life. I would LOVE IT if you would subscribe to my channel so I can help you, too! INSTAGRAM | @atozenlife
