Description

A New York Times and USA Today Bestseller.

Capable is a practical parenting guide from renowned counsellors and parenting experts Sissy Goff and David Thomas, designed to help parents raise confident, resilient children who believe they can do hard things.

Today’s kids face unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. Despite parents’ best efforts to help their children feel happy and supported, many children continue to struggle with internal and external pressures that affect their mental health.

Goff and Thomas identify the missing piece in one word: capable. Capable kids are confident kids who do not shrink from challenges. They are resilient kids who get back up when life knocks them down. They are thriving kids because they have a deep belief in their ability to face hard things, overcome roadblocks, and keep moving forward.

Drawing on more than fifty years of combined counselling experience, Sissy and David offer a clinically sound, emotionally attuned, faith-informed approach to helping children build resilience. Through research-backed insight and practical guidance, Capable equips parents to nurture the internal 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.
