I would never call time on the obstruction unless the batter runner is called out or I'm going to award bases beyond the base that the runner was on, it is not proper mechanics.
Also missing first on the obstruction does not give her second again if she does manage to retouch first safely. The runner must still run the bases in the proper manner. If I had called obstruction at first and the runner goes back to touch it and does not attempt second I will have a dead ball and award the base I think they would have obtained. The runner gives up second base were they failed to run the bases in the proper manner. So if she gets back to first safely on the missed base I'm leaving them there.

Second since they were safe the ball is alive, so if they reach the awarded base and are safe and the coach yells that they missed first, offense better move fast to get back to first or the defense makes a live ball appeal.
Misunderstanding I was referring to the runner being safe at second.
What is your take on give the runner second again after they safely got back to first. see my thoughts above.
Thanks for your input in advance.
