Yesterday was a wonderful first for our family. My 20 month-old daughter
attached 2 2*4 bricks together for the first time!
Its great to see the delighted look on her face when I open the box of basic
bricks with its bags of pretty colours, the zooming sound (copied from me) she
makes when I build her a plane out of 7 2*4 bricks, and finally the look of
concentration she got when she started trying to get the two bricks together.
A wonderful moment! Maybe now she will be more interested in her Duplo.
My mother-in-law told me I shouldn't build Lego in front of my daughter. She
thinks my massive colour coordinated, SNOT, themed and witty creations will give
my daughter an inferiority complex and stunt her Lego development.
Does anyone have an opinion on this? Does excessive AFOL enthusiasm cause
problems for the kids?
