UPDATE! - So I called meeting with the parents. I worded in a way that I thought was the most respectful possible without telling them that their 'babying' is affecting their kid BIG TIME!
So I approached it as needing more consistency between our two houses. We set a plan for how we are dealing with the crying, meal times, structured activities, and so on.
The parents will be doing on structured activity every day that she is not here.
We talked about how hard it is to refrain from doing things FOR the children as it is easier and babying feels good to some parents. They agreed and are giving her more to do on her own at home.
Over the weekends, there was a change.
She takes part in activities with enthusiasm, eats her lunch, takes big breaths where there would be tears. she WANTS to do things on her own. TWO DAYS WAS ALL IT TOOK!
She earned COUNTLESS stickers the last few days.
I'm really happy
