Today's kids face unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Despite our best efforts, our children continue to struggle with internal and external pressures that impact their mental health. If we're doing all we can to make sure our kids are happy, why aren't they?
Beloved therapists, speakers, and authors Sissy Goff and David Thomas have discovered the key is found in one word:
capable. Capable kids are confident kids who don't shrink from challenges. They're resilient kids who get back up when life knocks them down. They're thriving kids because they have a deep belief in their ability to do hard things, overcome roadblocks, and keep moving forward.
In
Capable, Sissy and David draw on their more than fifty years of combined counseling experience to offer a clinically sound, emotionally attuned, faith-informed approach to help kids build the resilience they need in today's world. Through evidence-based insight and practical guidance, Sissy and David equip you to nurture capability--the internalized belief that a child can face adversity, navigate challenges, manage stress, and build confidence in who they are and who God has made them to be.
