Children feel sad and the reason why they feel sad.
My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the money to a children's home.
Para.1
We have already cleared out a lot of things from our bedrooms.We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not playedwith his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them.For example, he has owned a train and railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was about seven. And he did not want to lose his toy monkey, either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was achild. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
