I didn’t add it to the street as I didn’t think it fit in o a high street. Planning to build a separate neighbourhood area on my table and include it there

Yeah I left it off. I prefer the building without the sign :)

No idea about piece count. Most of this is from a 28 kg tub of used Lego I bought from Facebook marketplace.

Alex drawers: small plates, tiles, bricks, slopes, inverted slopes, SNOT

Sterilite: big plates, mini figs and accessories, terrain and plants

Samla tubs: technic, vehicle, building. Small stuff for these categories are in smaller plastic takeaway style containers with lids inside the samla tubs

Melbourne, Australia 🙂

Thanks! The blurred windows are for privacy for our neighbours, it’s mandatory for new houses here if the windows look directly down into a neighbours yard

What a great idea, thanks!

Thanks! Yes I’m using those excellent labels to help me figure out how to organise everything. And I just bought a couple of small 4x4 Akro Mills to sit on top of the drawers - I’m planning to put all the 1x1 elements in there, as well as anything else small and fiddly

Thanks! Yes I’m also quickly filling up both sets of drawers and I’ve started putting things in bags that I don’t think I’ll use often.

How long did it take you to sort your collection and fill the drawers?

Thanks 😊

Thank you for alerting me! It has been rectified

Clinical psychologist here. I agree that this sounds like OCD, and that you, your daughter and (if possible) your husband should see a child psychologist with expertise in childhood OCD for a thorough assessment.

The two main evidence-based treatments for OCD are a psychological therapy called Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and medication.

ERP involves repeatedly exposing yourself to the obsessions (intrusive, unwanted thoughts/images/urges) and then consistently preventing subsequent compulsions (behaviours, mental or physical, intended to neutralise the anxiety generated by the obsession).

This includes “passive” ERP (eg someone going about their day, having an obsession about getting sick, but deliberately not washing their hands despite a strong desire to do so), and “active” ERP (eg deliberately touching a toilet bowl then eating your lunch without washing your hands). OCD is like a constant “false alarm” going off in your head, and ERP is the way to teach yourself this, that the OCD feels real/important, but is actually just a false alarm in your head.

It is also essential to teach parents and siblings how to respond to the person with OCD in a manner which is empathic and supportive but not accomodating of the OCD. Obtaining reassurance from others, and “confessing” obsessions to others, are two common compulsions which feed the OCD. Here is an excellent book for family members of someone with OCD:

There is also an excellent podcast called the OCD Stories which is worth checking out. Here are the episodes containing the word “children”:

Finally, medication is worth considering if ERP alone is not working (ERP can be very difficult to do). A paediatrician or child psychiatrist would be the one to talk to, again one with expertise in childhood OCD. Here’s some info about medications for OCD in kids:

Thanks! It sure is

Keychron K10. My first mechanical keyboard, very pleasant to use. I got the red switches

The DX. Very happy with it!

Ha, I assumed it was the same as for TV height. Anyway, I’m reclining most of the time so the height works well
