I love the fact that DD1 is a very full on little girl, she loves climbing, running, jumping and pretending to be a 5yr old boy... she has character and i LOVE that about her....

BUT..........

She thinks every dog is as friendly as ours
She loves talking to strangers and will follow ppl ANYWHERE
She plays with spiders (eww gross)
Climbs things, falls off and is back doing it 5min later
Today she went on a pony ride, no mummy just the strange man leading her and she didn't even care (the other mums at MG didn't even ATTEMPT their kids on it)

So these are all wonderful things BUT how can i teach her about dogs, stranger danger and being safe without scaring the crap out of her?

I know she's only 18mths and doesn't understand but she thinks she is indestructible and as much as i am used to it now and don't stress about it too much sometimes i worry she's going to do some serious damage.
