My DD loves people and goes up to everyone and chats it up.
When do we teach her not to do this? 4? 5?

I don't really remember how I taught G to discern who was/wasn't safe (generally he was always with me so I guess through my interjection he got it..). Since it's been so long and I'm like a ftm all over again, I plan on implementing how to spot "Tricky people" as opposed to "strangers"... this site just really changed my view on it!

This is a fascinating article I read some time ago:
http://www.checklistmommy.com/2012/02/09/tricky-people-are-the-new-strangers/
In a nutshell, it talks about teaching kids how to recognize warning signs of "bad" strangers. I was hooked when she gave the advice, "If your child is lost, teach them to find a mom with kids." An interesting read...
