That seems like the right order: support the child, then set a boundary with the adult.

I'd side a little with your mother on one point. Three 12-year-olds together are louder and more distracted than one. When my son started, we let him go alone first and with friends only later. Sounds backwards, but he paid more attention alone. My mother also came round once she had seen him do it twice.
