Too Many Toys… and Why It’s Backfiring

In this episode Diana shares a powerful shift in perspective on kids and toys why having more doesn’t always mean better.

Backed by research and real-life moments, this conversation shows how simplifying can actually lead to more creativity, focus, and independent play.

What we’re diving into:

• The surprising connection between fewer toys and better play
• Why too many options can overwhelm kids (just like adults)
• What research actually says about creativity and toy quantity
• Real-life changes that happen when toys are reduced
• How to support independent, focused, and imaginative play

Start small. Even reducing just a few toys can make a noticeable difference. You might be surprised at how much more your kids engage when there’s simply… less.
