It certainly is a delicate balance. I used to keep everything when I was younger and even with my first child, but now with 4 and having moved houses a couple times, it just doesn't really behoove us to hold on to so much. I do let the kids keep a plastic bin for what they believe is important, then every few months when it's full, we go through it together and by then they're often ready to get rid of things themselves. They'll look at a drawing, for example and say, "I can draw that much better now. Let's throw that away."
