I have one dcg like this, she has been with me over a year and is only slightly better now, but i still can't go anywhere without her following right behind. She just doesn't cry now if she can't see me, ie i can go to the bathroom without crying on the other side of the door....now its just her talking to me thru the door! She refuses to go play with the other kids if i don't come right along with her and even then doesn't really play, but often will just sit beside me and talk to me incessantly. after really digging with parents, i found that they never leave her to play .independently, even at home they are always with her in the room. They have also never taken her to any public play settings, such as gym times or playgroups as ether are scared of her getting lost. Now mom is quitting her job to stay home with dcg full time. I can't say i am terribly sad to see her leave, this dcg had been extremely high maintenance for being almost three. Social skills were so far off from ask the other kids, but no help from mom or dad in changing the behavior and i see it only getting harder for this girl once mom is home full time with her.
