Summary
Sissy Goff and David Thomas are here today from Raising Boys and Girls! Today we talk about the decline they’ve seen in the capability of kids throughout their work as counselors over the past 30 years, and what we, as adults who deeply care about this next generation, can do about it. Whether you’re a parent, an aunt, a teacher, or a mentor, this is an important conversation full of hope and also full of straightforward honesty about raising up boys and girls who are fully capable of taking on the world. David and Sissy’s brand new book, Capable: How to Teach Your Kids the Strengths, Skills, and Strategies to Build Resilience, is a must read! Find the show notes here . . . .
