[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 155401, member: 3626"] For my daughter, it was relatively simple. I reminded her how much she had loved playing with her stuffies, how special they were to her. Didn't she think it would wonderful if a little girl or boy who didn't have any stuffies at all could have some of those she had loved when she was a very little girl? After that conversation, it took some doing to convince her to keep her extra special ones, which she still has. Maybe you can find a way to convince Duckie to share them willingly. One thing I would do is insist that every time a new stuffie enters the house, an old one has to leave. Be sure and have her go with you when you give it to a shelter or whatever. The appreciation from receiving the stuffie will go a long way in making it easier for her to give some up. There is no way I would just get rid of them without her permission or at least her knowledge. It seems to me to be a betrayal of a basic trust. by the way -- For displaying try putting up 2x4s (painted the room color) all the way around the room. They hold the stuffies quite nicely and look cute. For ones to play with, a special seating/stacking area on the floor works. [/QUOTE]
