Capable Kids: The Key to Helping Children Thrive Sissy Goff (EP447)

Today’s kids face more anxiety, stress, and pressure than ever before. In this episode, I sit down with therapists and parenting experts Sissy Goff and David Thomas to talk about the missing piece many parents overlook: capability. Capable kids believe they can do hard things. They face challenges with confidence, bounce back from setbacks, and keep going when life gets complicated. Drawing from more than fifty years of combined counseling experience, Sissy and David share practical, research-backed strategies to help parents raise confident, resilient kids who can navigate stress and thrive. Whether you’re parenting young children or teens, this conversation will equip you with tools to build confidence, resilience, and a deep belief in who your child is becoming.
