Sort into three piles
Keep, pass on, and repair. Be realistic about what the next child will actually wear, and let the rest move on.
Wash and check before passing on
Clean, whole clothes sell and donate best. Fix small holes and loose buttons first, or describe them honestly.
Make it a habit
Sort at each size change or season change, so the job never grows big.
