In my work, I see some children come in with hoarding tendencies and I would like some resources to help them change their relationship to "stuff" before it becomes a real problem. I encourage counseling, but of course have no say in what is discussed at the sessions. What can I do, say, remind, that will help a child to see that choices can be made in a healthier direction? That this kind of pattern leads to a life of chaos and disorganization that is really hard to escape? Are there free resources that I can utilize in helping poverty stricken families? I am in a position to help prevent. But I am little lost in how. My mother is a hoarder, so it hits close to home, and I think I get a little shy about approaching it because it was such a volatile subject between us.
