I love how you worked directly with Stella and her mom LET you do it. She didn't try to talk her out of anything. Such grace.

[@briannewright8112]

I did notice a few things she gave away in the final reveal so mom vetoed off camera haha (dolls and some dress up stuff)

[@ellie448]

@@briannewright8112 that’s totally understandable though. My 3 year old would give away ALL of her pants if I let her lmao

[@jessicaderstine4061]

But still, that's good work!

[@debygiannioti4271]

I have also done that with my son. While decluttering he got carried away and decided to give up a few toys I knew he lived and he would miss. Do I kept them and a few days later, I asked if he was still ok giving them away. He was glad to get them back! I didn't say anything in the moment because it seemed to me I would interrupt his flow and his confidence by second guessing his decisions... But it also felt a bit harsh to me not to help in a situation that was obvious to me that he would be sad later. It probably wouldn't be a big deal but... you know... being a mom and all that. 😊

[@mrsmorris265]

​@@debygiannioti4271 I think you were very wise. You knew your son well enough to know what decisions he might regret and planned for the remorse without penalizing yourself.

[@shegoeslightly]

Cass, even my 4yo son came running over to watch this video! Would loveeee to see a "15 minute "all day declutter" for toddlers, where you talked directly to the tv and ask them to run around and fill a basket of old toys or explain the difference between things you use and extras. Like a kids show but teaching decluttering to kids, you'd be amazing at it ❤

[@cheriwalker7071]

Yes, please!

[@haidagirl626]

What a great idea! Not an all day but maybe an hour. Speed clean. My 5 and 6 yr old would love that! 😆

[@mollyv.9629]

I love calling it a gifting box instead of a donation with kids!!!! Such a better visual for them

[@lindamcdermott9980]

Cass, congratulations on the CPR certification. I am as well. I had to use infant CPR twice on my grandson. It was probably the most emotional thing I ever did. When the paramedics came, he was life flighted. It took a long time before I could talk about it without tears. He was literally dead when I discovered him. Today he is 26. A testament to the training.

[@bananamanchester4156]

Stella is the ideal client! Decisive, willing to let stuff go, positive attitude 😊

[@emtgirl777]

I am a paramedic, and I have legitimately SAVED a life because someone did good CPR before we arrived. I’m very proud of you and grateful you took the class!

[@Clutterbug]

[@alejandrina1985]

Stella did a better job than me decluttering! 💕

[@rachel9658]

These are such nice kids and the mom is so supportive. They all did great!

[@racheltheshadesoforange8700]

As a mom with a young kid this video was SO helpful. Big thumbs up!

[@shellyvega5704]

I started a declutter in my son's room by myself and got rid of 5 bags of stuff and he never asked for 1 toy that I donated. I then started letting him declutter his own stuff. When his room got super dirty I had him pick up each piece and decide if it was getting donated or staying. At first he kept most EVERYTHING. But the more often we have done it, the more he has donated. It was hard for me to let him keep stuff I knew he wasn't using. But now hes gotten so good at it!

[@macybradach9919]

My daughter is starting to figure out decluttering (she’s 4), and I practically skip out the door with donations every time my six month old grows out of some thing. I’m done with having babies and I’m so happy that stuff is leaving my house. Watching these videos has shown me that I can do it, and I’ve really got the ‘bug’ for organizing from Clutterbug. Thank you Cass!

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

[@arikgray]

I am super impressed with those kids. The both know exactly what they want and what they don't want. They easily make decisions and then act. Stella is able to do it too, impressive. And Cas - wow, he is clear and thoughtful and self-assured. And again, he clearly knows what he wants and doesn't, and decides on it, and acts. Impressive.

[@Clutterbug]

:)

[@happyx2]

So proud of you for taking the CPR class and wanting to save someone's life. I am so glad and grateful there are people like you in this world, Cas! ❤ Congratulations!! 🎉

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Stella and Cassius are such cute kids. Love their little personalities.

[@nanouminai]

Oh my God, Stella reminds me so much of my daughter Serena at the same age… not only physically but in her mannerism as well… big nostalgia there as she is now 15 😂 Well done Cass, big inspiration ❤

[@jeannegonzalez7367]

These kids are so amazing. Especially for their age. So mature, and in tune of who they are.

[@Clutterbug]

They were awesome!

[@rainbomg]

Such amazing kids! They were so sweet and sincere, I’ve never seen kids that age handle cleaning up their rooms (with a stranger!) so well. You could tell mom is a sweetheart too, they just seem like such a lovely little family. Also, like, _really_ well dressed! Loved these guys

[@lonnarheaj]

Cas, you are not only gifted at decluttering; it is obvious you are also a great Mom, and a super fun person to be with, not only for adults but also kiddos. This Mom is also a great Mom to have such exceptional children!!! Those two kids are a couple of the most adorable, well behaved children I have seen, well, ya' know, other than mine when they were young, and my😢 grandkids. Fortunately, there is no cap on the number of absolutely adorable kiddos allowed at any given time! 😄

[@Clutterbug]

Lol!

[@cyndij8312]

Cas, you are great with kids. And the kids were great, too. So decisive. And kudos to mom for not questioning their decisions to let things go.

[@Clutterbug]

:)

[@marissasharp9892]

Cass, you did great with the kids! I loved how you helped them feel empowered, and they made the decisions (and Mom let them, too!)! As a teacher/mom, I get how important that is. I think Stella is your new assistant, LOL! So precious! ❤

[@Clutterbug]

She was great!

[@deaneclark6469]

Stella & Cassius was so cute! They did a wonderful job! Congratulations to you on your CPR & 1st Aid Certification! As always, Cassie, thank you for sharing! Stay safe, healthy, and positive! God bless you and your family!🙏❤️🇺🇸😊

[@michelleprice5945]

What an amazing mom and daughter, for the mom to not second guess everything was incredible!! Way to go mom!! We all know our kids don't need presents they need our presence. 😁

[@mollym5587]

They did a great job!! So cute! We homeschool and my 10yo verbalized to me recently that she couldn’t do school in room because it’s too messy and she couldn’t concentrate. We finally finished a second round of decluttering in her room and added a few clear bins and she loves it! I’m glad she feels more comfortable in her room now and she can find what she wants and knows where it goes back. I think Dana K White’s question “where would you look for this first?” works really well for kids.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@carolinefreak]

I gotta say, I love seeing Cass with these kids - you can tell she used to have a daycare - amazing energy! These kids did a great job and the mom just let them be - really great all around. Good job everyone!

[@Clutterbug]

[@victoriaoliver9958]

Exactly! I was thinking about her having run a daycare and her gift for being with kids really shone through.

[@angemac1519]

How sweet is Stella ⭐️ I love the way you spoke to her. I think her Mum should be extremely proud (I’m sure she is) of her daughter. This was so uplifting. Lots of love to you all. Cas you def have a great way with children. You’re a great inspiration. You should be a counsellor! 🌟❤️💫💜✨💕

[@Clutterbug]

Thank you!

[@davkmv]

Stella is absolutely precious. I could tell her mom was a bee at first glance --I am too -- and I thought it would be very difficult for her to let the children let go. Congratulations on the CPR!

[@vampgirltish]

congratulations on your certifications! this video was so heartwarming :) you worked so well with the kids, adapting to their level of understanding and their preferences. it’s so lovely to see! you’re doing great, cass!

[@veronicawilliamson8392]

Cass, I can use this. I'm 48 disabled person I struggle with letting go. Doing simple an easy things are best for me. I like to see my stuff. If it's hidden then I forget it's there. If I see it I use it. Thank you for this Cass. You rock!

Estella and Cassius are so precious and they did a great job. Mom and Cas, you both did a great job, too.

[@amycarr2379]

I did a decluttering session with my two teenage nieces . They were a little reluctant at the beginning but I assured them they could keep whatever they wanted. They both did great and got rid of like ten big garbage bags of clothes etc combined from both rooms. So sometimes bringing in an outside person who is easy to work with might get your kids or spouse etc the same outcome as Stella and Cas.

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks for sharing!

[@emilyhammer4192]

I loved seeing this modeled! It was good to hear the phrases you use. And the energy ❤ I've been decluttering with my littles and its amazing to see THEIR decluttering muscles grow.

[@suesimpson309]

Stella and Cassius both did a wonderful job of decluttering. Congratulations on getting certified for taking the first aid course and CPR class. Many years ago my mom talked me into taking the classes with her. I went reluctantly, thinking I would never need to use them. One day my mom ended up choking on a piece of a hotdog. I had to do the Heimlich maneuver on her. She survived and went on to become an EMT and run on the ambulance in the small town where we lived. I would have never known how to do this properly without taking the courses.

[@Clutterbug]

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

[@victoriaoliver9958]

What an inspiring story!

[@StarrREVA]

Cas, you already have saved so many people -- without you, many would have been crushed by the Crapalanches of Clutter.

[@Clutterbug]

[@lynelafreniere8178]

Beautiful family and transformation. I agree Cass that everyone should have First Aid training. Always said school curriculum should have it along with budgeting, financial (banking), cooking, sewing and small carpentry skills. All skills you need for family or home life. 🏡 ❤😊

[@loriunderwood3734]

Completely agree! Life skills are so important, and I feel like it isn't even a consideration.

[@ellendoucette]

I worked for a volunteer Ambulance for quite a few years. It's amazing when CPR alone actually works. It's like you hear the Angels sing. To see life return to someone's eyes is amazing. We carry a first aid kit in our car. Tell your husband to hush!!! Lol

[@4ke_1978]

That was soooooo sweet 😍 “are you proud of me, mommy?” Awwwwwwww 🥰🥰🥰🥰 they did a wonderful job!!! 🥇🥇

So nice to see you in your element with the kiddos.

[@jennyh4025]

Cool! I have to try it with my child. Regarding CPR and first aid: in Germany it’s mandatory to take a course to get your drivers license. But unfortunately most people do not refresh their First Aid and CPR knowledge regularly. You should refresh it at least every three years or so, but I have to admit, that I haven’t in seven years either. 🙈

[@Clutterbug]

I didn't know that!

I would love to see different ways to organize & contain but also display his stuff. I can not get him to part with his cars and since they’re only around $1 he keeps getting more of them when he has his own money. We have a large tub with at least 400 little cars only in it😮

@Cass, you never know, you might be surprised by getting to use your first aid skills! The literal next day after I got first aid certified in Canada, a girl fell off her bike right in front of us and knocked herself unconscious on the pavement. I was so hecking glad I knew what to do! It's one of those things you hope not to have to use, but that one time you need it, you're so grateful to have it! I genuinely think everyone should be taught first aid.

[@chrisludwig3610]

This was awesome! I wish I had these tools when my kids were little. 😂 Congratulations on your certification. That's a lot to be proud of. Where I worked (before I retired) when the officers were trained for CPR and the "zap" machine, so was the office staff. It's a lot of work, but rewarding. I even got to use my first aid skills one morning and helped saved a life. 😊

[@maryrichardson6205]

Congratulations on being certified. I worked in a preschool for 30 years and we were required to be CPR and First-aid certified. I always listened intently during instruction even though I had been through it so many times. I can’t tell you how many kids I used the Heimlich on throughout the years. The AED tells you exactly what to do, trained or not. What always astounds me is that only preschool had these requirements when everyone in the school should be trained. The kids in the video had so much in their rooms not sure why they would ever leave.😃Thank you.

[@Clutterbug]

You're welcome!

[@ruth4114]

I would have loved to have someone helping me when my daughter was little. I still have toys in the basement that I'm going to get rid of. Cass, you save people everyday from their clutter and messy homes.😊👍

[@Clutterbug]

:)

[@thecraftysparrow]

When my kids were younger, we had a rule… If you get something new, something old has to leave. It was very helpful in keeping their space organized. We talked about that rule every time we would go to the store and my son especially would want something new. I would ask him what we were getting rid of. Sometimes he didn’t want the new thing so he could keep an old thing.😊

[@WhereTheLionsRoar]
