[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old DD is social, and she loves to wander around nearby me to find other kids to play. She has followed other kids far away only a few times, but normally she does not go too far to the point that I can see her and she occasionally looks back to check where I am (i stay at the same spot). She has chatted and played with middle schooler girl/boy and other dads/moms and i have seen those parents look around to see where her parent is (in case she is a lost child) and i often wave back or smile back when we met eyes.

Am I too loose parenting not staying right next to her and letting her wander around to go chitchat/play with other strangers (especially older boys or dads) not on public playground setting? [b]I mean i will look around to check where she is, and she does not go too far, often within my eyesight.[/b] I don't know what they talk about, and it is always she is the one approach others to play/chit chat.[/quote]

The bolded sounds like she is at times out of your sight and that you're not aware where your 3yo is at all times. You obviously don't need (and shouldn't) hover over her every single minute but you should be aware that she's only three and can easily loose sight of where she is and how to get back to you and also has no proper sense of danger or yet. I wouldn't be worried about her wandering around on a playground but personally I wouldn't  be comfortable having her out of my sight in any random place.[/quote]
