A Life Long Experience？

這是由樂高公司的員工所提出的問題，簡單來說，就是在五歲以前，男孩女孩都玩樂高積木。

五歲是一個分界點，小女生在五歲後就不太玩樂高積木了，而小男孩則會持續，不過也陸續在9到12歲之間漸漸不再玩，只剩下很少數的青少年會玩樂高積木。20 多歲後，才又有一些成年人回頭過來玩積木。

關於這些變化，樂高公司十分好奇究竟是為什麼。各位有任何的想法，也歡迎回應。

各位：

我正坐著想著...
放眼樂高社群我看見各個年齡層的族群享受著「玩樂高」.
在年紀較小的部份，我看到男孩們和女孩們和他們的父母親（直到5歲為止），然後大部分的女孩離開了
5歲到9歲之間我看到大部分的男孩們和他們的父母親依然都在
然後大約9歲到12歲之間男孩們也開始離開，只有少部份在青少年時期繼續玩
有些在20多歲的時候帶著新的熱情重新開始玩樂高
就是應該這樣了嗎？

更多大於5歲的女孩們在成長後將會更願意「玩樂高」嗎？
為什麼當大多數女孩離開的時候，某些女孩留下來了？
為什麼有些男孩（和一些女孩） 在青少年時期持續玩樂高？
為什麼大部分的男孩大約在9歲到12歲之間選擇離開？
為什麼有些在20初頭重新開始玩樂高？
這...
這裡面有很多的疑問哩...
接下來的75年，我想把範圍所小至 3~5歲的樂高玩家（男孩和女孩）而且持續玩樂高的

到底有什麼特別不一樣的呢？
這是跟人們的腦子怎麼運作有關嗎？
跟他們的雙親，家庭有關嗎？
跟他們的朋友有關嗎？
這可以說是這個人在某種關鍵時候的經歷所造成的嗎？

你覺得呢？

Dear all - I'm sitting here thinking :). Looking around the LEGO Community I see people of all ages enjoying the "LEGO Experience". At the yonger end I see boys and girls and their parents (up to the age of 5), then most girls leave. During ages 5-9 I see mostly boys and their parents still. Then around age 9-12 also the boys start leaving but a few stay with the experience into their teens. Some come back to the LEGO Experience in their 20es with new passion. Is this just the way it is supposed to be? Will more girls older than 5 ever be more likely to enjoy the LEGO experience at a later age? Why do some girls stay while most are leaving? Why do some boys (and a few girls) stay with the LEGO Experience into their teens? Why do most boys leave around the age of 9-12? Why do some come back to the LEGO experience in their early 20es? Hmmm...

Many questions here... I'd like to narrow in on the LEGO user (boy and girl) who get into LEGO play around the age of 3-5 and stay with the LEGO Experience for the next 75 years! What is special? Is it something about the person, the way his/her brain works? Is it something about their parents, their family? Is it something about their friends? Can it be explained by some kind of defining moment this person has experienced?

What do you think?
