The phrase "like any mother" needs to modify the mother, but what comes right after is not "the mother" but "the kids."

This sentence is wrong, because it is not written in the text.

Is my understanding of the word "co-opt" wrong? There is also a sentence using the word "co-opt" that I'm having some trouble understanding.
