Sorry to anyone who finds this ridiculous
I'm just curious if anyone has a similar situation and what you did - if anything
DS is 4 and he is utterly obsessed with Lego. I love Lego and I'm glad he's found something he loves, that he can be creative with that aids skill development in lots of areas.
He inherited 3 lots of mixed bricks from older cousins so we have tons. He will happily play with it for hours. I know I'm lucky in this regard that he doesn't need entertaining. However I really struggle to get him to do anything else at home. He'll do painting or play in garden for 10 minutes then he's itching to get back to Lego. He's definitely got an obsessive personality!
I'm thinking of limiting his Lego play. Like 1 session in the morning and one in the afternoon. 3 hours a day total. Just to encourage him to engage properly in other stuff.
But is this just weird and mean of me?
I want him to try other stuff and develop other skills but he's still really young so maybe I just need to chill out ?!
