How will the junior learn how to do it otherwise? Ultimately it's that first hand experience that will be the biggest lesson in teaching the junior.
Perhaps the solution is something in-between - assigning the task to the junior, expecting honesty and communication from them, and pointing them in the right direction as they need it. With competent but inexperienced junior, this works and results in a stronger team.

- itronitron 8y agoOne important thing for anyone to learn is that they won't get work if they don't complete, or even just start work. The more effective someone is at working with other people the more valued they will be. Asking the right questions, and knowing which need to be asked, is an important skill to develop as well.
