How did the mother in The leap save her daughter's life 3 times?

In "The Leap" by Louise Erdrich, the mother saves her daughter's life three times through her quick thinking and past experiences. First, during a circus accident, she uses her agility to catch her daughter before she falls. Later, in a house fire, she risks her own life to rescue her daughter from the flames. Finally, her mother's instincts allow her to foresee a dangerous situation, enabling her to protect her daughter from a potential drowning.
