I think the child has simply given up and lost the skills to take cues from peers and predict or recall what happens next....pretty sure they have never HAD to since mom is always right there hovering.....
Funny you say that. I actually cut the mom off the other day when she started to answer for the kid when I asked her something. I felt rude but I felt like " I fully expect you at 35 to know the answer- let your 3 year old tell me"
