I'm not sure if I'm being a bit daft or if all toddlers are as easily led as my ds (2.9). He would wander off with just about anyone and is constantly disappearing off in the school playground when I drop dd off at school with another little boy, who is a bit more, er.. let's say, dynamic than ds. It seems other boys ds' age just have to crook their finger and he will disappear into the horizon with them. Yesterday at a farm park type place, he decided some other boys looked like they were having fun so he followed them without a backward glance. I can be racing after him shouting him to come back but he just ignores me.
And here's where I'm probably being unreasonable - is he likely to always be so easily influenced? I've been fretting about this
. His sister who is 5.5 was an incredibly easy toddler who wouldn't leave my side etc.
