I don’t see this as good mothering at all. As a professor, it is increasingly disturbing with so many helicopter-parents having prevented their kids from ever “feeling defeated“. They simply haven’t learned how to fail. Last semester, a woman brought her 18yo son to 1st class

Gee that’ll help her in the real world. Is mom going to follow her to college and to work too, so she can intervene whenever little Makayla freezes? Dear heavens let the kid fail, it’s how kids learn.

For goodness sakes I hope you don’t have any kids.

Definitely not a fan of "helicoptering" (consider that emotional hobbling), e.g., bringing parents to ANY kind of interview, there is room for exceptions. And this assist, whether it was by a teacher or parent, just seemed humane (and she wasn't "rescued" immediately).
