When an item is in dispute (meaning I want to sell, toss, or recycle it and the kids need to keep it), we take a photo and stick the photo in a book, where they get to write a small eulogy about it. Then it goes out. You’d be amazed how this small project has taught them to view what is special and what is not.

I will try this, but my sons reasons for keeping things are more magical than plain old vanilla logic…

I wonder if this would work with my spouse. Hmm. Something to think about.
