That is really ironic how many scold parents for being helicopter parents whilst saying kids today are weak because they didn't do shit they themselves did.
But, it could also be an age-old thing where people who were neglected as kids has some kind of savior complex. The Swedish character Pippi Longstocking in the TV series (probably also in the books from 1945) was hounded by a "nanny" character that wanted to put her into a childrens home since she was living on her own, so perhaps these occurrences aren't new.
The 1969 Pippi Longstocking TV series was made with a mix of Swedish and German actors. Though they only filmed the dialog once and dubbed the foreign parts for the respective markets.
