Watching the video again, I come to this point of having lots of questions... esp for the mother (sorry to be the Debbie Downer)...
She put her child in the position where the child had try to understand and accept her mother's action and talk herself through to comfort herself... which as you all observed came out as conflict - I want to accept/understand you but I feel sad. I know the mother was playing and thought her child was cute and all that... but yikes... These children are sensitive...
Guess with time parenting and family hierarchies will change... I hope not with children on top taking care of their parents before they had time to fully experience childhood...
