Why I Took My Kids Toys Away. When Mommy and Daddy Took the Toys Away A week before Christmas 2011 Ruth Soukup a thirty-three-year-old stay-at-home mom of two girls in Punta Gorda Florida was throwing toys into a bin. Practicing minimalism by taking away my kids toys resulted in increased creativity imagination and generosity and decreased stress and entitlement.
If they do something they shouldnt take it away until they earn it back. In short our playroom was a MESS. In hindsight that impulsive moment when I took all their toys away was the moment I suddenly realized my plan heretofore wasnt working.
After giving it to them use that item to motivate them to do the right thing.
In short our playroom was a MESS. All the stuff was not making them happier. It takes less time to clean up. Practicing minimalism by taking away my kids toys resulted in increased creativity imagination and generosity and decreased stress and entitlement.
