Have you ever wondered what impact your parents' style of parenting had on yours? Like most people, I’m sure there are aspects of your parents’ approach you want to emulate—and others where you want to take a different path.

Many parents did not have positive parenting modelled to them. Others experienced negative parenting, and some of us entered parenthood carrying the weight of hard life experiences. While every one of us wants to be the best parent we can be, if we’re honest, most of us bring some baggage into our parenting journey.

I’d encourage any parent to watch a new research-based documentary called SEEN. Even if you feel your parents did everything right, I’m sure there will be insights to help you grow and improve as a parent.

SEEN is a groundbreaking, feature-length documentary that not only explores the transformative power of personal healing for parents but also delves into the scientifically supported effects of such healing on parenting and its impact on child brain development.

You can watch the trailer or learn more about the film here:

It will be showing at Nambour Cinema on April 2. You can find screening dates and locations on the SEEN website or check out Nambour Cinema.

I’m sure it will be a blessing to you and your family—maybe I’ll see you at the Nambour screening!

God bless you as you parent your young people.
