I think it's so important for parents to model good organizing behavior. They really need to walk the walk. So when the kids are being encouraged to get rid of stuff, the parents also should take that opportunity to go through their stuff. And you can really make it a whole family event. Maybe it's something everybody does once a month, once every two months, based on your family schedule. But I really think it's important for the parents to do purging when they are suggesting the kids to do purging.
And also, when the parents are out shopping, maybe show some restraint. Parents can't always get what they want. Just showing the kids that it's okay to not get everything you want. Just showing kids that parents have to set boundaries too.
