[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP are you from the midwest?  I don't see your kid as friendly. I see her as possibly friendly but also possibly not reading social cues.  When I was nursing my youngest daughter at a playground while watching my oldest daughter play, I did not find the 7 yr old boy who ran up and stared at my boob and asking me questions "does it hurt? does the baby know it's a boob?" to be outgoing and friendly, but annoying and intrusive.

Outgoing and friendly is when someone near them drops something and they pick it up, and hand it back with "Here you go!" and a smile.  Or when you're all ordering food at a restaurant and when the waitress comes back to deliver drinks says "Your earrings are really pretty." [/quote]

OP - except then would you start a conversation with the 7 year old’s mom and ask a lot of questions about the family?

No we are not in the Midwest.

I guess I’m unsure if it’s a good thing because I’m wondering how it translates to adulthood. Are they extroverted because they’re confident and feel good about themselves? Or are they extra inquisitive and can’t hold back asking questions? I just view them as my kids and when the other mom pointed this out I wasn’t sure if I should say thank you or what.[/quote]

You can't possibly know what kind of adults your kids will turn into.  Just assume everyone means the best and say thank you. You're giving this WAY too much time.[/quote]
