In a video documenting the process, Camille’s children can be seen deciding which toys to keep and which to donate. While she admitted they struggled at first, she explained the deeper lesson behind the activity.

"I explained to them that we need to learn to let go of things we no longer need to make room for new things... and that these toys they love will also be loved by their new owners," she shared.

Beyond just cleaning up, Camille aims to instill lifelong values in her little ones, one that earned praise form netizens.

"As young as they are, I want to teach them the value of money and the importance of sharing to others," she noted.

She believes it is vital for children to understand that they shouldn't "hold fast to the things of this world" and that material possessions "do not define our value and identity." By clearing out the dust and "hoarding," Camille is showing her family how to live a more purposeful and generous life.
