Absolutely. Children benefit from adult guidance, support and
assistance. With LEGO and most things, more in the beginning, less
later on. It's also great quality time with your children. In my
case it was my little brother, and now my nieces.

John, did you write a nice long letter to President & CEO, Kjeld Kirk
Kristiansen, explaining your feelings about the company, its actions,
and your reasons for leaving?
If not, I would encourage you to do so. I have read several documents
written by Mr. Kristiansen. He appears to care deeply about his firm
and its employees.
Did you ever get the opportunity to meet him? Or talk at length with
someone who did know him personally? I'm curious about his character
if you know.
