In a world obsessed with output, Human School is where we study what happens within. This podcast was born from a journal entry during a breakdown. A reminder that struggle isn’t weakness - it’s instruction. Human School reframes pain as purpose, productivity as presence, and leadership as inner clarity. We’re building the education we never got. Through stories, tools, and raw conversations, we help people stop performing their lives–and start participating in them. Welcome to Human School.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-10T04:21:03.154911+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113"},"episode":{"title":"Sissy Goff & David Thomas: What It Means to Raise Capable Kids","slug":"sissy-goff-david-thomas-what-it-means-to-raise-capable-kids","published_at":"2026-07-09T15:43:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113/sissy-goff-david-thomas-what-it-means-to-raise-capable-kids","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/human-school-7543113","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/human-school/episodes/Sissy-Goff--David-Thomas-What-It-Means-to-Raise-Capable-Kids-e3ls5m7","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10b384b70/podcast/play/122606727/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-6-9%2F427653257-44100-2-d2239afc54124.mp3","summary":"How do you help an anxious child build real confidence instead of just managing their fear? What if the very thing keeping your kid unsafe is how hard you're working to protect them? Sissy Goff and David Thomas are two of the most trusted voices in child and adolescent mental health today, counselors at Daystar Counseling Ministries and hosts of the popular Raising Boys and Girls podcast . With more than three decades combined sitting across from kids and their families, they've become go-to resources for parents navigating anxiety, emotional development, and resilience in childhood. Their new New York Times Bestselling book, Capable , just carried them through a national press tour, including a stop on the Today Show, and for good reason: it takes on one of the most urgent questions facing parents right now. In this conversation, Sissy, David, and Miles unpack why so many kids today aren't just anxious; they're increasingly unwilling to try, and what parents can actually do to build resilience instead of just managing symptoms. They talk through the difference between attunement and over-protection, why "trust your gut" might be the most important piece of parenting advice out there, and how to set healthy boundaries around technology and social media without shutting your kids out of the world they're growing up in. It's a grounded, hopeful conversation about childhood anxiety, parenting under pressure, and what it actually takes to raise capable, confident kids in an overwhelmed world. Your kids are watching you more closely than they're listening to you. Onsite's Living Centered Program is a place for parents ready to do their own work, so the patterns they pass down are worth passing on. Learn more at experienceonsite.com .
