We have a fun one for you today about Lego bricks. (Show it to your kids!) Also, a piece about how our teens overshare, and that may not be all bad. This piece was written and reported by Devorah Heitner, whose new book, Growing Up in Public, is now out and hits on a lot of points that we parents of kids in this age need to consider. No putting the genie back in the bottle, folks. So how do we help our kids navigate their lack of privacy and a life lived in a digital world? And, like in today's piece, how do we learn to understand their world a little more? We also have a lot of good advice here from Meghan Leahy. She and I will be back with a live chat Sept. 27. You can start asking your questions now.  Have a great weekend, everyone.  ADVICE Here's why your teen overshares online, and why that could be good By Devorah Heitner ●  Read more »   How Lego bricks went from five colors to nearly 200 By Kati Perry ●  Read more »   ADVERTISEMENT   ADVICE Meghan Leahy: Daughter is 'insanely jealous' of her little sister By Meghan Leahy ●  Read more »   ADVICE How should I help my high school senior as she's applying to college?
