Vastu rules for storing children's old clothes, books and toys at home

Children grow up, and their old clothes, shoes, toys and cradle often stay lying around the house. Most parents associate these things with memories, so they are reluctant to throw them away. But slowly this stuff piles up, and the question arises of what to do with it. According to Vastu shastra, the things kept in a home affect its atmosphere and positive energy, and there are some specific rules laid down for this.

First, old clothes. According to Vastu, clothes that have not been used for a long time should not be stored in the house without reason. Torn, dirty or worn-out clothes in particular are better donated to those in need rather than kept at home. This reduces clutter and also keeps the space organised. However, if some clothes tied to a child's memories need to be kept, they can be washed well, folded properly and stored in a dry, clean place.

The same applies to toys. Toys that are broken, damaged or have not been used for a long time should not be kept at home. According to Vastu shastra, broken things are associated with negativity. So if a broken toy can be repaired, it should be fixed; otherwise it is best removed from the house. Toys that are in good condition and still usable can be given to younger children or donated to those in need.

A child's cradle and shoes also carry special emotional value at home. According to Vastu, a cradle that is not in use should not be left gathering dust in a corner of the house for a long time. If it is to be used again in future, it can be cleaned and kept in a safe, dry place. Keeping the cradle amid broken items or dirt is not considered right. If the cradle is no longer going to be used, donating it to a family in need can be a good option.

According to Vastu shastra, children's old belongings should be checked from time to time, and things that are no longer needed should be removed. Clothes and toys that are in good condition but not being used should be set aside. Wardrobes or store rooms should hold everyday useful items rather than unused clutter. That said, items connected to children that hold emotional value for the family can certainly be kept and cared for.
