SOLVED. Decluttering, Simplifying, reducing children's toys [s]

[Jill]

I read a book about a family that cut their kid's toys in half and then cut them in half again and just whittled their belongings down to almost nothing and the children were so much happier. Kind of extreme decluttering and simplifying.I think it was fairly recent; perhaps within the last 5 years?

This could be Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids by Kim John Payne.

A reviewer on Amazon says, "[The author] suggests getting rid of half of [the toys]--and then another half-- and maybe even another half!"

Here's a related book - Clutterfree with Kids by Joshua Becker.

What year did you read this book?

I think I will go ahead and call this one solved since the Simplicity Parenting one sounds familiar (and even if it wasn't that one, the content sounds perfect for the person I wanted to recommend it to. Thanks, Kris!
