Is it really necessary to make it seem like she’s doing all of this?



In a word, yes.

Some other words:
Perception
Competence
Helicopter parent
Responsibility
Training wheels for adulthood

Words I kind of like:
Facilitate
Support
Behind the Scenes
Secretary

Analogy du jour:
It’s Audition day.
Kid is in the room doing all the hard work herself and getting all the glory.
You’re outside in the hall equally nervous holding the coat, bag and extra shoes.
Kid couldn’t have done it without you.
But … it’s her day.
