Precocious or just confident?

My youngest GC (8 & 5yo) both do this. It’s an after effect of Covid, I think, when they were so deprived of company, they’d stop and talk to anyone!

He is very much into drama and music so I think that has made him like this.

I think that was super.

Sounds like he’s been well brought up. Some children have an innate sense of being social and are confident.
My 11 year old GD introduced her class individually to the new class teacher when she was 7!

My 11 year old GS attended a family funeral at the weekend. After the service he went round and introduced himself to the people he hadn't met before and had a chat with them.
My other son told me he thought this was precocious as most children don't behave this way. What do you think?
