spoonfeeding
Spoonfeeding, in a general context, refers to the act of providing someone with so much help or information that they do not need to think for themselves. It usually suggests an overprotective or excessive behavior where a person is given everything they need and thus, does not develop the skills or capacity to do things independently. This term is often used in education to describe a teaching method where students are given all the answers rather than being made to understand and learn concepts.
