By hashkafah, I would say that you should prepare her to be homesick and missing you and your family for a while and it does take time to get adjusted to being away from home for an extended period of time. Most girls do get over the hump and are very happy by Channukah. There was a woman who posted on a recent thread about this that she and her husband arranged to go to EY for Succos to help get their daughter over the hump and also deal with all of the YT meals that many girls find themselves having to plan out for themselves, which can be very hard on a girl who may or may not have much family here in EY. That’s a great idea if you can afford it. Maybe provide her with a list of phone numbers of family and friends you have in EY to give her a base for Shabbos/YT planning in advance. It will help ease her mind.
