[quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty free range with my three year old, but: She’s always within my eyesight If she approaches other people, I signal she’s with me with a wave And I keep the independent interactions brief - after a minute or two, if my kid is still hanging around with the new “friends” she’s made, I go join Sometimes if it’s a kid of a similar age and their parent I’ll just end up joining while our kids play together. If it’s a kid and parent clearly trying to have family time, I’ll explain “they’re having special family time let’s go do x together” If it’s teenagers or adults who don’t want to be bothered I’ll redirect pretty quickly. . But if my kid is just wandering or collecting sticks or whatever, yes I’ll let them go as far as I can see them always eyes on - as long as they’re far enough from danger like a busy road that I could react in time.
