As we reflected during the session:
What we don’t fix… they inherit.
What we avoid… they absorb.
What we deny… they carry—often quietly.
This film reminded us how easily we confuse giving space with giving up, how silence can feel like abandonment, and just how vital it is to stay connected, stay present, and truly listen to our children.
