The available title suggests a scene involving a mother monkey and her young baby during a period of increasing independence. However, without additional video or image details, it cannot be confirmed that the mother is intentionally teaching independence or that the baby specifically needs comfort. In young primates, interactions between mothers and their offspring can include staying close, moving independently, resting, exploring, and returning to physical contact. These behaviors can change as young animals develop and become more capable of moving through their environment. This moment may therefore provide an interesting example of baby monkey independence, while also showing the close interaction often observed between a mother and her young. More context would be needed to determine exactly what is happening in the scene. What behavior is most clearly visible between the mother and baby?
