I had one who took 6 months, not going to lie they were a LONG 6 months!!!! She is now my favourite (not that we have favourites haha) but she is awesome now. During those 6 months the parents were not honest and upfront with the fact that they held her constantly from the time she woke up until the time she went to bed. She sat in their laps for mealtimes, she slept in their beds for naps and bedtime. She was like the doll, never put down...so for her group care was like OMG!! It took months and LOTS of chats with the parents that what they were doing at home might make them feel better, but they were not helping her at all! Now its very rare that she has her 'moment's as I refer to them now

Each little one is different and transitioning can be a tough process. I think its all up to you and what your patience and sanity can take? Also...how the other children in care are handling her. My guys just got to the point where they ignored her, or said Shell ***** is crying again lol. Now we all love her to pieces!
