[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While you are working on the larger issues, I hope you are also teaching her not to touch strangers. That she would go up to a strange man and hug him is pretty disturbing.[/quote]

To be clear. She said hello to this man and offered him some gum. She was wearing a team t-shirt and he asked her if she liked baseball and if that was her favorite team. They chatted about that for a minute and then he gave her a "fist bump" and she gave him a side hug. I was about six feet away. I guess I should have been more descriptive in the OP but it was getting long as it is. If she were walking up to random strangers and hugging them out of the blue I would be a lot more alarmed. She gets her chattiness from me. I talk to everyone and am friendly.

This is really the least of my worries as it was a one off. I am more worried about her developing depression later in life as another poster suggested. I am also worried about how to navigate talking to her about our friend who has cancer.

I really like the suggestion about her focusing on one cause. That way she might feel as if she is helping. Instead of feeling overwhelmed. [/quote]
