At five years of age it is innocent exploration of the world around her. It is part of social development. I understand your anxiety as you read weird things in newspapers these days. Make her aware of correct and incorrect touch. Other than that let her explore. That is the only way she will be able to be positive in social situations later in adult life. If you restrict her social life now she is bound to have problems later on. Just read through the social development that occurs at age of 5 given below and relax: 1.Continues to expand his or her circle of trusted adults. At the same time, maintains a closeness to a few special people 2.Gains self-esteem from feeling capable and demonstrating new skills (e.g., says, "I know how to read this!"). Is increasingly aware of his or her own characteristics and skills. 3.Uses physical, imaginative, and cognitive resources to comfort self (e.g., goes to his or her room voluntarily when upset) and to control the expression of emotion; however, he or she continues to need adult guidance in this area. 4.Enjoys interacting with other children and adults. Has developed a broader repertoire of social entry skills (e.g., suggests something to do together, joins in an existing activity, shares a snack). Engages in more complex and sustained cooperative play, including pretend play and simple games with rules 5.Continues to establish and maintain friendships with other children. Seeks others' acceptance and friendship. May join a group to exclude others.
