## Resource

Every parent wants to raise confident, resilient kids—but it's hard to know when to step in and when to step back. Adam and Chelsea sit down with counselor, author, and longtime parenting expert David Thomas to discuss his new book Capable. Together they explore why so many kids today struggle with confidence and resilience, how well-meaning parents can unintentionally stand in the way of growth, and why allowing children to experience manageable challenges is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.
