That is 100% correct. If any of the interns we hire had any undisclosed issues (medical, social, food allergies, etc.) that caused problems because we were not aware in advance, see ya.
We all have out parenting methods. My wife and I tried to tailor unique approaches to each child since they are very different. Do what you think is best.
I can tell you that when my son went for his ROTC interview with an Army Colonel, I stayed in the car. Five minutes later he came out and said the Colonel would like to meet me.
The Colonel, a great guy, told me that that had never happened before, that he usually has to ask the parent(s) (almost always the mother) to leave after introductions are made, shoo them out so he can interview the applicant.
His next question was, "Where is your wife?"
Not here.
His expression was priceless.
