I agree with both points of view. Ultimately, my home was different from their homes and 90% of the children adapted to the new environment fairly quickly. Some took a few additional weeks to adjust, others just werent a good fit.

I don't worry myself about what goes on in the family home, because it's almost always different from group care.

However, I would not let the parents' parenting style and choices become my problem. I would call for pick up when there is excessive crying that disrupts the flow of the day. From there parents can decide if it's worth adjusting behaviors at home on their own. On my end, I would just stay consistent each day for her and watch for small improvements or let her go if it seems that it's not working out.
