    Minimalism With Children – The Importance Of Habits

    When striving for minimalism with children, developing habits that will help you reach your goals is important. Minimalism with children is possible. Minimalism can mean many different things depending on who you talk to.  As someone inspiring for minimalism with children, I struggle to find the balance between life and material things every day.  Finding this balance can be difficult.  The importance of habits when striving for minimalism is so important – whether you are an individual or a parent.  It is one thing to purge and declutter, but you need to change your habits to prevent going back to where you were.
