Clutterfree with Kids should be put in every parents diaper bag as they leave the hospital with their newborn(s).

There is nothing more important to myself and my family than the time we spend together.

That is oftentimes a challenge due to things we are use to seeing as necessary time constraints such as cleaning the house, organizing photos, fixing broken toys and electronics, etc...

Joshua presents the idea of "less is more" as not just a philosophy but a day in, day out way of life.

This is the book I wish I could give to my kids grandparents without it immediately insulting them.

If you are looking for practical, beginner level ways (and even advanced level ways) of creating more time for your family, more space for what is important, and more relaxation and peace within your home, give Joshua's book a read.

As other reviewers mentioned, not only will Joshua help you with practical ideas, but he'll give you the "why" behind doing them. I've found that without the why, habits often don't stick for me.

My favorite part of the book was definitely the list of gifts we can give our kids instead of the usual toys and games. If for no other reason, read the book for these genuine, uplifting suggestions.

Job well done Joshua. Eager to read anything else you publish.

Thank you for sharing your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quick, Helpful Read
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2014

I really love Becker's insight into minimalism. I've been getting into minimalism since late last year, and I've embraced it very quickly -- which in a way made me feel like I was beyond some of the material in this book. It offers solid, sound, and important advice, and I am definitely going to share it with some of my mom friends who haven't fully figured the whole minimalism thing out yet. But, because I had already been sprinting along in my minimalism journey, I felt like I'd already taken many of the suggested actions steps. I did enjoy the reinforcement of the actions I've taken and learning about Becker's personal perspective, though. So it may be a bit "light," but as an upside, it's straightforward, quick, and practical -- which we cluttered, desperate, and stressed parents appreciate! I also appreciated the book's organization, which will make it a great resource to reference when I lose steam or get sidetracked down the road.

If you're justing starting out and need to find those first steps to dig yourself out of the clutter, read this book NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book got me excited to have less.. brilliant.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2015

Wow.. this was way more than I was expecting.

I thought I was buying a book which gave just practical tips on how to declutter my space with children in the midst.

Joshua presented minimalism in the most attractive light to me, and I can honestly say, I'm so excited by what my future holds.

So many bases were covered, one in particular is dealing with people who don't have the same desire as you to declutter. This is a hard one when I visit my hoarding mother, I can see the clutter directly impacts her stress and happiness level and I wish she would just throw stuff out to release herself. I used to get so angry at her, but now, I'm just going to lead by example. For her to see the contrast between the ease and freedom in my life to hers, one of more–more work, more mess, more stress more wasted money.

Joshua, this is one of that world changing ways of living. I hope the whole world can embrace minimalism. A worldwide change may not be seen straight away, but change always has to start somewhere. Thank you for being dedicated to writing a brilliant book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiring, Practical Book for Parents (or Anyone for That Matter)
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2014

Joshua Becker gets right into the main theme of the book when we writes, "There is more joy to be found in owning less than can ever be found in organizing more." I totally agree.

Although he emphasizes the inspiration of minimalism over how to practice it, there are literally hundreds of action-oriented tips to live a more intentional life (with or without with kids). And each insight is backed up by experience, faith, research, science, or some combination of the four.

I particularly enjoyed the real-world stories of parents like me who struggle to balance presenting their kids with opportunities and boundaries. The only (small) issue I have with the book is that it gets a little repetitive in some places. But I can easily overlook that since acting on the book’s principles means having a child comfortable with whatever they possess, confident enough to be themselves, and grateful to be by themselves.

If you read Clutterfree with Kids – and I think you should – there’s a good chance that passages from it will end up on your fridge, bulletin boards, computers, or even proudly displayed in your child’s room.

This book is more about minimalism than anything- and while it is probably one of the better books I've read on the topic, I was hoping for more parent-oriented ideas and suggestions about dealing with kid-related clutter. Mr. Becker basically walks you through his journey to minimalism and breaks down everything in easy-to-digest, easily readable chunks, but again, if you're looking for a book that's more focused on parenting, this many not be the one for you.

Absolutely loved reading this book. Discovered this book after watching the Netflix documentary about Minimalism. So happy I looked into it. This book not only touches on how clutterfree with kids is possible but it addresses personal growth, your relationships, and guides you in such a powerful inspiring way. I couldn't recommend this book more. A huge thank you to Joshua Becker for such a motivational, thoughtout book.

Thank you so much for this book. Although I am normally an organised person I still bought this book because I wanted to 'own less stuff' so that I can spend more time with family and less organizing and moving things around.
I just started reading it but I must point out that all the chapters are clearly layed out. I am decluttering my house and it's all starting to feel amazing. I am looking forward to declutter my entire house now(one section at a time)! So excited!!!

I really enjoyed the author's writing style, it made the book easy to read and engaging. I thought I understood minimalism before reading but now I see it was just one facet that I'd understood. He explains it so well and shows how it isn't really a set recipe for what is minimalist, it goes much deeper than just getting rid of stuff or having a goal for your ideal number or possessions. His focus on living intentionally reallly resonated with me and particularly in regards to parenting.

I would recommend this book to any parent or parent to be. Even if you, like I did, think you could never be a minimalist I think you'll find lots of gems in this great book that might change the way you look at stuff but also challenge your priorities.
