I put toys in two big plastic tubs and mark a date three months from now on duct tape on the top. When these toys come out three months later, the kids play with em like they are new again! When these toys come out, others are put in their place in the tubs and then they disappear into the garage for three months. This system really works. I also only buy toys that have been reviewed by other parents on http://www.ParentsBestToys.com. I let someone else test drive all the toys and only buy those that I am sure will have long lasting play value. No more junky toys!!

I make my kids help me pick up their toys we sing the "clean-up song" I did take 1/2 there toys away also before birthdays and Christmas we go through the toys together and get rid of a bunch of toys and donate them to a local thrift store. My kids have no problem getting rid of some of there toys and if they do fuss I hold up 2 toys and say which one do you want to keep. They also understand that a kid that doesn't have any toys will be getting them!

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY SON WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ADHD (ONE OF THE TRUE ADHD CASES) AND WOULD SCATTER STUFF ALL OVER THE PLACE. FINALLY I LIMITED TOYS. HE WAS ALLOWED 5 TOYS OUT AT A TIME. WHEN HE WAS DONE WITH ONE IT WOULD GO BACK INTO THE BOX. NO OTHER TOYS WOULD COME OUT TILL AT LEAST AN EQUAL NUMBER WAS PUT AWAY. AT THE END OF THE DAY NO STORY TIME TILL ALL TOYS PUT AWAY. IT TOOK AWHILE BUT FINALLY WORKED. IT HELPED HIM I THINK WHEN HE GREW UP CAUSE LET ME TELL YA HIS ROOM IS SPOTLESS!!
