The interaction beautifully reflects the principle of dependent origination (paṭiccasamuppāda), which teaches that all things arise and cease in dependence on causes and conditions. The mother exists in her role as a “mom” because of the child, and the child’s identity as a “child” is intertwined with the presence of a mother.

It’s a delightful moment of insight that underscores the teaching: “This exists because that exists; this ceases because that ceases.”
