Progress in the parenting department

Yes, I can see maybe it a tool to be used sparingly. I not consider that before posting.

I think you doing all you can. You seem realistic in understanding it not healthy to feed and that children need to grow. It good that they be allowed to make little mistakes when young adults where parent can scoop up, reassure and try again. It the child who bubble-wrapped and never allowed to make mistake that struggles when finally leave home.

Let the rope out a bit at a time, rein back in if need be, then let out again. It all learning experience for parent too not just for child.
