Heard this on TV

I heard these 5 sentences on TV, but I had questions.

The first sentence was said during a speech, talking about how nice the person is and how much she's been there for her child. Trust your child to someone????

1 There is no one to whom I'd trust my child more than her.

Shouldn't it be "when he struggles"


2 I want my child to feel loved even when he's struggling.


Shouldn't it be "prove" and not "show"?

3 Why would I have to show you whether I did it or not?

Is this correct, I thought it would be "so that everyone gave"?

4 What did she say for everyone to give her money?


Isn't there too many "woulds"?

5 You'd think he'd be scared that she would steal his thunder.

Thank you so much

All of the sentences are well within acceptable limits especially for informal, spoken English. It's not clear to me whether you believe there are errors or just better ways of expressing the ideas in question.
