What to do with old children's clothes: how to give and receive them correctly so as not to harm the kids
Over time, children grow out of their clothes, so you need to think about who to give them to. However, there are certain aspects that should be kept in mind to ensure a painless transition and preservation of positive energy. SSPDaily has told you how to handle old children's clothes and where to put them.
What to do with old children's clothes
- Do not use for rags
It is not recommended to use them as cleaning rags, as popular beliefs claim that this can make a child more fussy and irritable. Instead, it is better to give the clothes to a family in need or donate them to an orphanage.
- Do not give things to those who do not need or want them
It's important to make sure that the recipient really needs the items and intends to use them properly. Some people may accept the clothes as a courtesy and then throw them away or repurpose them for something else, which can negatively affect the energy of the child who wore them.
- Do not keep unnecessary things at home
Some people are hesitant to give away their children's belongings to strangers because of concerns about the energy associated with them. However, if you keep clothes that you no longer need, it can potentially generate more problems and negativity. Therefore, it is better to give it to someone who needs it, thus creating more space in your home and providing help to those who need it.
- Be sincere
It's important to approach giving away children's things with a sincere heart and the understanding that these things no longer belong to you. In practice, this means mentally "letting go" of these things. If you find it difficult to detach yourself emotionally and regret the decision to give them away, remember that some of the energy of the previous owner may leave with the clothes.
Is it okay to accept other people's children's things
If someone you know offers you children's clothes, you shouldn't be afraid to take them. However, it is recommended to perform a special purification ritual to protect the child from the energy of the previous owner. It is an effective practice to sprinkle the clothes with holy water collected on Maundy Thursday and consecrated in a church.
