Playing with Lego is not limited to children. Many people enjoy creating beautiful things with simple blocks. However, a study found that boys are more encouraged to play with Lego compared to girls.

Let’s be honest, playing with Lego isn’t just for kids. It is the favorite pastime of so many people because you can create the most beautiful things out of simple blocks. It’s so much fun when kids get into building and startfound that they encouraged 76% of boys to play with the bricks versus only 24% of girls.

Just as the girl was the only female in the group of Lego enthusiasts, it can be observed that playing with Lego is very often a male-dominated activity. Studies onhave found that male characters are shown as having agency, independence, and expertise, whereas female characters are often shown in passive or ornamental roles. Although the brand is working to overcome the gender play gap, it might take a while before this space becomes a level playing field.

The only problem with having a father who is very overprotective is that it can affect the way his daughter views the world. As she gets older she might be oversensitive and afraid of taking risks. Studies also show that veryare at greater risk of suffering from anxiety disorders and are always stressed due to all their fears and worries.
