I don’t think this has anything to do about consleeping. My 4 year old still sleeps with us and is the most independent little guy I know. Very strong willed and an over all emotionally stable person.

This issue has to do with separation anxiety that they are feeding into instead of getting the proper help for her. She needs evaluated and they need to set boundaries. It’s not normal for a 5 year old to cry when someone leaves the room. Something traumatic may have happened recently and the parents are not forthcoming. Anything from sexual abuse to going away for a weekend and leaving her with someone she didn’t feel secure with.

If you can’t handle to crying, I would call for pick up. I personally can’t listen to it from a 5 year old all day long.
