Hello, My DD loves older kids especially girls, i.e. teenagers and older. If she sees any she's straight over there and telling them her name, trying to join in etc. I wasn't too concerned until today when she was at the playground and there were about 3 girls, probably about 12-14 years old and she was trying to join in and one took my DD's photo on her phone. I didn't know what to do and how to react. Apparently she did ask my DD if she could take her photo, not that a 4-year old really understands. They seemed alright and I don't know whether I'm just being paranoid/overly protective.
My DH and I want to talk with DD and explain that it isn't always appropriate to be with older children/talk to anyone and everyone, but don't want to dampen her confidence/outgoing nature by making her wary of people. What's the best way of going about this and what to say? I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice. Thanks.
