How would I replace this function that lies inside inc/template-tags.php in my parent theme

function theme_navigation() {
?
        
        div id=theme-nav-container
            nav id=site-navigation class=main-navigation
                ?php wp_nav_menu( array('theme_location' = 'theme-studios-primary', 'menu_class' = 'sf-menu', 'fallback_cb' = false, 'walker'  = new theme ) ); ?div class=clearfix-pro/div
            /nav
            div class=clearfix-pro/div
        /div
        
        !-- close #theme-nav-container --
        
        
?php
}

There is no add action that it is hooked on to, there is no check to see if the function already exists. How would I replace it without touching the parent theme. I have removed much of the code in the function for brevity but I think it still makes sense.

Thanks ahead of time

You can't replace the function, but you can substitute it:

Copy the function to your child theme's functions file.
Rename the function.
Modify it as needed.
Find the template file that references it, such as header.php, and copy that to your child theme.
In your child theme's new template file replace the reference to the original function with your renamed version.
