I have a three year old daughter who is very social even with strangers. I love how she isn't shy and loves to play with any new kids she is introducesd to, but how do I teach her about predators and strangers without affecting her personality? Is she too young? She doesn't even understand the concept of a stranger yet.

Look up social stories for autism, or even just social stories. You can also go to the library and find age appropriate books about strangers. I wouldn't worry too much about the predator part yet, she's a bit young. If she's a typical 3 year old I would say she's not too young to learn about strangers. I have a 3 year old son who is very delayed in a lot of areas, and we've been working on it.
