When determining what to do, you might ask yourself how would you have felt if you were the child in your daughter's situation? Would you have wanted your mother to have intervened in your own behalf? What would you have felt and learned if she had? We tend to want to help our children no matter what when sometimes it can be more useful to them to let them decide how they want to manage a situation. As long as her health or life isn't in actual danger, sometimes these experiences are best dealt with by the child. It is how they learn how to deal with life. One of the hardest things to do is watch your child undergoing something like this but trust her to handle it and bite your tongue would be my recommendation if at all possible.
