What should we do with our children’s old toys?

Living with children

Enter Text Here. Hey Taylor - The holiday season always leaves us with a few hundred toys our kids don’t want I hate the idea of throwing these things away and wonder if you have any suggestions for what to do with an overstock of stuffed animals and plastic cars - Darren

Hey Darren - It’s hard for us parents to avoid the excess, isn’t it? I totally understand what you’re going through My wife and I have tried a few different approaches with our kids neglected toys that might work for your family

1 Church charities Since so many churches offer daycare and nursery services, this is a great place to send the toys you no longer need If you go through your own church, you and your kids could still have access to the items, or at least get to see firsthand the happiness those toys bring to other children On the financial plus side, you can also write off the donation

2 Freecycle or Facebook If you’re hesitant to donate the toys just anywhere, you can use one of these online services to post the items you’re giving away This ups the odds of finding the perfect home for an old toy and makes the process relatively easy on your end You don’t even have to load up a box - you can just take pictures of what you have lying around and post them online, then wait for interested parties to get in

3 Shelters and care c reason we end up wit extra toys is because look on our kids’ face receive a gift. You ca same feeling when yo to facilities that house and families in need recommend bringing along so they can partake in the generosity and see how good it feels to make someone else’s day

4 Garage sale Sometimes it takes a lot of effort to get your children to part with toys, even if they haven’t played with them in years If you propose a yard sale, the prospect of earning cash gives you a pretty good negotiating tool Allowing your children to take part in the selling process also teaches good lessons about personal value and financial responsibility Best of all, you can deal with the grownup toys that have started taking over the shed and guestroom, proving that mommies and daddies have to part with their things as well

I wholly agree that you don’t want to throw things away, and I urge everyone to avoid putting perfectly good toys into landfills There are so many ways to do good with these items, so hopefully you’ll find something that works for you Good luck, Darren!

Q: We have ten grandchildren, spread between three of our kids They all live within an hour’s drive, so we see them often We want to be involved in their lives and to be good influences Our problem is with the parents None of them are receptive to any advice or information we try to give or share At least four of the grands have major behavior problems, for example (and all of them lack proper manners) It’s obvious to us that the real problem is parents who don’t know how to exercise effective authority, but any suggestions fall on deaf ears One child has been diagnosed with an “oppositional” disorder The parents have been told he can’t help behaving the way he does, but he’s no problem at all when he’s with us, even for an extended stay This is beginning to cause tension (and some conflict) among us What should grandparents do when children won’t listen to good advice?

A: One option is for you to pack up and move I’m serious Your fundamental complaints are echoed by grandparents all over the USA Now, people don’t ask my advice if everything is hunky-dory, but the number of tales of grandparenting woe I hear as I travel the country strongly suggests that such distress is ubiquitous

I think a good part of the problem is a lack of respect for one’s elders Young people today don’t seem to grasp that respect means more than simply being polite; it means honoring the wisdom that usually comes with age Certainly there are grandparents who don’t qualify, but most people older than 60, myself included, will tell you they’ve acquired more wisdom in the last ten or so years of their lives than they did in all the years prior

Progressivism – the philosophy as opposed to the political bent, albeit they are related – dominates American thought these days and has since the 1960s It is anathema to a progressively-minded individual that tradition might trump modernity (at least occasionally), that an old way of doing something might be better than the new way, that a longstanding idea might be more correct than a recently-minted one These days, parenting progressivism rules. Those of us who represent the old way are often simply tolerated by the young Often, we are regarded as if we’re all teetering on the brink of dementia.

The example you give of your “disordered” grandchild is emblematic of the problem Even though the notion that certain childhood behavior problems arise from such things as “biochemical imbalances” and “brain differences” has not been (and I don’t think will ever be) proven, the new explanation trumps the probable truth: to wit, the child in question has not been properly disciplined The fact that the child is reasonably well-behaved when his parents aren’t around unequivocally disproves the pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo Unfortunately, when it comes to children, pseudo-science trumps common sense these days

So, back to your original question: I hate to be the pessimist – it’s really not my nature – but no grandparents have ever told me that something they said to the parents of their grands caused a lightbulb to come on and that everything’s been just peachy keen ever since Not being valued for your wisdom is painful, for sure, and the likelihood of the parents in question ever apologizing for their disrespect and beginning to listen to you is slim to none

You can keep your mouth shut You can wait patiently, hoping the parents will someday come to you in desperation. You can say something like, “You know, we have some experience raising kids and are more than willing to share our experiences – what worked and what didn’t – with you anytime you feel the need ”

Or, you can pack up, move away, and enjoy to the fullest the years you have remaining. It’s worth considering You’ve certainly earned the right
