Minimalism is more than just a trend or fad—it’s a lifestyle. It’s one that many parents have adopted not only for themselves, but as a way of raising their children. Minimalism can teach adults and kids alike how to appreciate the smallest and simplest of good things that come their way, and it can help all of us lead lives that truly align with our values.

Minimalism can look different for everyone, so it’s more important to determine what the priorities are for your life, your home, and your family situation before you tackle the physical aspects.
