with our decidely non-sample group there is a wide range of comfort among the parents with leaving the kids. A lot has to do with the individual kid some are clingy and others aren't. Some parents are very protective/controlling and other are more "take me away Calgon..."

It's hard to say how the kids have responded to the parents choices. There seems to be a correlation between the kids degree of engagement, self assurance, respect and the parents meeting the concerns of the child. Not pandering and indulging but not ignoring either.
