1KHO 775: Helping Kids Do Hard Things Again David Thomas and Sissy Goff, Capable

David Thomas and Sissy Goff are back, and this conversation is incredibly relatable. Kids are more hesitant, more overwhelmed, and less willing to step into the very things that help them grow. Ginny talks with them about their new book Capable and what they are seeing after decades of counseling families: shrinking comfort zones, rising anxiety, and a culture that has made it harder for kids to practice real-life courage. This is a practical conversation that is full of direction. From letting kids experience disappointment to building flexibility, risk, and resilience in everyday moments, this episode will leave you thinking differently about what actually helps kids thrive.
