b'\\u201cIt\\u2019s just too much.\\u201d\\nMy daughter, who is newly 5, said this to me for the first time this week. She asked me to come clean up her room with her and when I walked in she sighed and said, \\u201cit\\u2019s just too much\\u201d. We don\\u2019t have a lot of toys, but she manages to accumulate stuff.\\xa0Although this was the first time she has put this into words, her behavior has been telling me this her entire life.\\xa0\\nRarely will our kids be able to verbalize their overwhelm with stuff. More often, they will speak with their behavior. They will be able to feel the overwhelm, but they won\\u2019t be able to articulate or comprehend the solution.\\xa0Which means we have to steer the ship.\\nEpisodes Mentioned:\\nMy Messiness\\nToo Many Toys\\nHow to Use a Reward Chart\\nThe post Clean Up appeared first on Simple Families.'
