The USA is home to 3.1 percent of the world's children, yet they are the consumers of roughly 40 percent of the world's toys. Though we can mean well as parents, teaching kids to associate stuff with love is not the best idea, and the clutter it causes can lead to anxiety and an overall lack of focus. Also, the inherent social comparison that occurs when seeing what other kids have can lead to sadness and depression. Role-modeling and teaching minimalism at a young age can lead to a higher level of authentic happiness and open the doors wide for creativity and innovation.
