When does helping stop helping?

Helping feels good because the benefit is immediate.
 
You solve the problem. Give the answer. Fix the mistake. Step in before something goes wrong.
 
Efficient. 
 
But do it often enough and another outcome appears.
 
The person stops struggling.
 
And struggle is where some learning happens.
 
A manager who answers every question can create a team that asks more questions. A parent who solves every inconvenience can produce a child less equipped for inconvenience.
 
Sometimes support builds capability.
 
Sometimes support replaces it.
 
Knowing which one you are doing is the harder part.

Who needs to struggle?
