My personal experience from two young children is that it works, most of the time. Obviously there are still issues - maybe the young one wants to bring some toy to school on a non-toy day - in this case getting to choose the color of sweater isn't going to help. But mostly this approach seems to work. Now we as parents still need to remember to use this approach, which we unfortunately often forget in the morning rush.

My wife is a teacher, she always says poblems need to be fixed where it's easiest to fix them. So if a kid brings a toy to school on a non toy day, she will confiscate it (and give it back at the end of the day). She only needs to set one example for an entire year.
