Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. At the age period of 2 to 5, children experience something called "stranger anxiety". At this age period, children are more attracted towards people who "care". For them care is usually given by mother, father, other near family members. Second aspect is their playful attitude. Because of this second attitude they mingle easily with even stranger children. But, the case of strange adults are different. Stranger anxiety coupled with "he is not my play partner"- attitude triggers the given behavior. Don't worry. The problem will be solved within some months.
