No Mike, my thoughts too. I have one parent along now who is
helping a little too much (or is it that I am just so sensitive to
the boy developed, boy planned, boy run thing?) His son recently
became PL at a very young age and he is rushing to help him
succeed. He prods well, but then crosses that line to doing it
for him. It is a bugger of a problem. Can't tell him not to
help since failure by itself is not desired -- can't tell him
good job, keep it up since that precludes success on the part of the
boys.
OK, if I can see the "happy median," how come everyone else can't. :-)
