Should she stay or should she go?

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!

I'm of the opinion that this is over the top. At 14 months old she should be ok without you holding her.

Also, if you think you are getting stressed...how do you think the other kids in care feel? It is just as hard on them to listen to her screaming as it is on you.

After 5 weeks, I personally would let her go.

But then after all that hard dedicaded time spent. I would give it another few weeks. We are all so socailly different and some little ones just take a bit longer. The eating this is normal too for a child having a hard time!
