A DOCUMENTARY exploring how parents’ own healing journeys can shape their children’s development will screen at The Citadel in Murwillumbah on May 22.<\/p>\n

Seen, a feature-length film produced by parenting platform Parent TV, delves into how childhood trauma and coping mechanisms affect parenting and children’s brain development.<\/p>\n

The filmmakers said they set out to fill a gap in parenting advice by focusing on the internal work parents can do, rather than external behaviour strategies.<\/p>\n

“Our vision was to craft a film that resonates with audiences, sparking a flame of self-reflection and growth,” they said in a statement.<\/p>\n

“Through the unfiltered and authentic narratives of real parents, we reveal the remarkable potential of addressing trauma and attachment styles.”<\/p>\n

The film features insights from leading educators, psychologists and neuroscience experts, including author Maggie Dent, paediatrician Dr Billy Garvey, counsellor Lael Stone, neuroscientist Professor Selena Bartlett, educator Nathan Wallis and psychologist Dr Vanessa Lapointe.<\/p>\n

Parent TV says the film is designed to empower parents to better understand their own emotional patterns\u2014and in doing so, support the wellbeing of the next generation.<\/p>\n

A Q&A will follow the 6pm screening, offering a chance for local parents and carers to discuss the film’s ideas in more depth.<\/p>\n
