Episode 1: How many toys is enough?

How to Figure It Out With Your Kids

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the toys taking over your home, tried to declutter with your kids only to hit a wall of resistance, or simply don’t know where to start or how much is actually enough — this episode is for you.

I’m sharing my own childhood experiences with toys, what changed after I became a mom, and how I help families find the right amount for their home without the meltdowns.

In this FREE episode:

  • How our own childhood shapes the homes we create today

  • Why toys become a currency for good behavior — and what to do instead

  • The two signals that tell you when you have too many

  • How to involve your kids in finding the right amount

  • Small, realistic steps to slow down what’s coming in


Want to go deeper? Chapter 11: Decluttering With Kids, covers everything in this episode and more. The link is below. Paid subscribers can download the full chapter PDF.


The Dooley Method grew out of years of working with families — noticing what brought them closer and what helped kids want to participate.

If this resonated, the full library is available to paid subscribers whenever you’re ready — chapter lessons, downloadable worksheets, workshop replays, and podcast episodes to help your whole family work as a team.
