My 4 yr old is talking to everyone that we meet.. She tells them her name. age and phone number, I am glad that she knows all that stuff but I don't need to world to know. I am just sick when I see her talking to people.......What to do?

Hi, I had the same problem with my son. The Berenstain Bears "Learn About Strangers" is a fantastic book. And be sure to discuss it after reading. I also told my son that saying Hello to a stranger is fine but beyond that he is to politely say that he is not allowed to talk to strangers or just say that he needs to talk to his mom or dad now. The problem is to make them cautious, not afraid and the book I mentioned does a great job of that. Good Luck!

Try a book called "Just Say No" or "It's Ok to Say No". It talks about how to deal with strangers, and how you child should view people she doesn't know...

An easy way is to pick up a book from the library, and read it over and over...and explain when ur done why that is important. Then have dad read it too, and maybe grandma.

hi! you obviously have a very confident outgoing little girl which is great!! however, it is a problem!! i had a talk with my 4 yr old and explained that while most people are nice and friendly, some people aren't and that's why you must never talk to strangers or tell them about yourself. it helped too that they had a policemen come to her nursery and talk about it and she's had the same now she's at school too. i think you just need to sit her down and really hammer it home to her. good luck!! :)
