## Resource

In this powerful conversation, Mary DeMuth explains why the hurts and experiences of our past can quietly shape the way we parent—and why motherhood and fatherhood often bring those hidden wounds to the surface. Mary and Kristi Clover talk about recognizing old patterns, understanding trauma, avoiding “trauma comparison,” and finding hope in the healing process. What happened to you matters, even if you think someone else had it worse. Rather than seeing these moments as proof that we're failing, Mary encourages parents to see them as opportunities for God to gently reveal areas where He is still bringing healing and growth. In this video: • How childhood experiences can influence our parenting • Signs that old wounds may still be affecting us • Why comparing your trauma to someone else's doesn't help • Why parenting can expose wounds we thought we'd already dealt with • How God can use parenting as part of our sanctification and healing 🎧 Watch this full conversation on the Schoolhouse Rocked Podcast - https://Podcast.SchoolhouseRocked.com Stream Schoolhouse Rocked: The Homeschool Revolution for free!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://SchoolhouseRockedMovie.com Get your FREE Homeschool Survival Kit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://Homeschool-Survival-Kit.com Support the Schoolhouse Rocked Ministry - https://SchoolhouseRocked.com/support Sponsors: https://BJUPressHomeschool.com - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ BJU Press Homeschool ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is dedicated to providing homeschool families with academically strong curriculum rooted in a biblical worldview.
