Kids have too much stuff. I say this as we go into our 3rd birthday weekend and the holiday season. This book, Simplicity Parenting, is filled with stuff we know about raising our children but it was nice to have it reinforced. According to the author "children have more than 150 toys." Most children I know have way more than that. Get rid of them. Really. Go throw some toys away. No wait, that's not very green. Go throw away all of your broken toys and then donate the rest of them.
"As you decrease the quantity of your child's toys and clutter, you
increase their attention and their capacity for deep play. "
