A younger sibling frequently seeks help for a subject you're good at for homework. Your help usually significantly improves their mark -- is there a point where you should stop so they earn their own marks or is it always best to help when you can?

I'd be pretty thorough in walking them through it at first but if they come to me for help for every other assignment, I'ma get tired. I like to teach self-sufficiency study skills so they eventually don't have to keep coming to me, or they come to me for some more insightful feedback on their work and not just "are my answers right? did I do this right?" I like to help, but people need to remember that people (tutors, teachers, etc.) literally get paid to help you, and I'm here doing it for free, so be careful about how much you ask for tbh
