Dear fellow AFOL's and parents,

I have a 2 year old son (almost 3) and a 1 year old son. I have a concern
about my almost 2 year old son.

My concern is that it seems obsessive.  Maybe I’m crazy.  When I was a kid I
also spent alot of time playing with Lego and I know it did me no harm.

I think you answered your own question, didn't you?  :)

After all, the only thing a kid needs to survive, besides LEGO bricks is
love (1)..... and you can't give them too much of that.

Thanks for any advise/experience that you may have.

In all seriousness.... I was a kid who spent many a full Saturday or Sunday
hidden away in the basement building with LEGO.  And to reiterate what
you've suggested above, I don't think it did me any harm.  I'm socially
well-adjusted, have a good job and never once went to jail for spending too
much time building with LEGO.

Regards,
Allan B.

(1)  Of course some people find that kids also do well with food and
water... but really.... aren't LEGO bricks enough for most growing minds?  :)
