Parenting a Peaceful World – the Documentary

Imagine if the key to a better future was as simple as better parenting? This fascinating and important documentary series is based on the book Parenting for a Peaceful World. Tracing the history of childhood as far as 2000 years back, it reveals how the ill-treatment and brutality toward children was until very recently taken for granted and the dire consequences of this behaviour for society. Good news emerges as the film rolls into the present. The last 50 years have seen extraordinary shifts in attitude: parents exploring more empathic parenting styles; law-makers and social change agents striving to stem the breakdown of family units. This Australian production includes conversations with Bruce Perry, one of the world’s most respected neuroscientists, and intends including the views of his peers, Drs Daniel Siegal and Louis Cozzolino, and with cutting-edge social-change agents like Canadian, Dr Joan Durrant, and New Zealand MP, Sue Bradford. Close-up and personal, parents in Australia, Europe and the US share their perceptions and the desire to rear their children with higher emotional intelligence and more respect for this planet.

Parenting a Peaceful World is scheduled for release in 2009.
