Significant advances in neurology, cognition, and sociopsychology occur during adolescence. Teenagers usually spend less time with their parents as they get older, but they tend to spend a lot more time with their peers let it be their friends or siblings. However, parents still have a significant impact on their adolescent’s growth. The bond between a teen and their parent has a significant impact on emotional, social, and cognitive development. Less high-risk behavior, fewer mental health issues, and improved social skills and strategies for coping are all linked to secure attachment. “The Magician’s Elephant” is a 2023 computer-animated fantasy action film that Wendy Rogers directed, Martin Hynes wrote the screenplay for, and Julia Pistor acted as producer. This paper questions the hidden impact of war on Children’s identity and attachment with the help of the narrative.
