Attachment to Objects

[Fun&care]

Just wanted to say that my son went through this stage at that exact age. I think it's pretty normal. It didn't last too long and he outgrew it, but I remember kinda scratching my head at the time...you just need to repeat why you are getting rid of something ( it's broken, it doesn't work anymore etc) , and focus on all the things that ARE still good and that she CAN keep. I don't think it's a control thing at all. I think they are just learning that all things come to an end. Now my son has no problem going through his closet and getting rid of things.
