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.

Congrats, a heart warming moment to be sure.

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?

Well I’m sure it’s all in how you handle it. Comparing her creations to yours
won’t help her feel better about things. But encourage her and it should be
fine.
Now I’m sure there are other examples, but seeing the work of
Ross Neal and
Nik Pieniazek, (and the early works
of Trevor Koleda) I
would say that you are far more likely to raise a kid building adult like
creations than a kid who doesn’t like lego.
