I bet nileshp37 has seen the Star Wars and Batman movies. FIRST mentors are like Batman and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Perhaps a few examples from those may help him understand how mentoring works.

Batman is Robin's mentor. That doesn't mean that Batman stands there watching Robin get his rear end handed to him by the bad guys.

Obi-wan Kenobi mentored Anakin Skywalker and his son Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series. That doesn't mean that Obi-Wan stood there and watched Anakin and Luke get stomped by the Dark Side.

Both took an active part in the trials and tribulations their students were going through.
