[quote=Anonymous]2.5, but my DD has always been the kind of kid I don't worry about much with stuff like this. When she was 3, she'd sometimes be playing in an adjacent room (that was baby proofed) and she'd come in to ask us if she could get out a toy that was on a low shelf and she'd played with before and around which there were no special rules or concerns. Literally, she'd be like "Can I get out my blocks now?" And then 10 minutes later "Is it okay if I push my dolly around in the play stroller?" She's just an extremely careful and compliant kid and that is entirely her and not the result of us being super restrictive because we aren't.

But kids are different some kids will quietly get into trouble if you leave them alone for 5 minutes. You have to know your kid. We actually wound up creating more rules and parameters for our kid because she is like this -- what we figured out is that she craves structure and it makes her feel more safe if she has more restrictions. Go figure![/quote]
