Capable: How to Teach Your Kids the Strengths, Skills, and Strategies to Build Resilience is a contemporary parenting guide by Sissy Goff and David Thomas, two child and family therapists associated with Daystar Counseling Ministries in Nashville. The book addresses what the authors describe as a modern crisis of capability among children and adolescents: many young people appear anxious, avoidant, perfectionistic, or dependent because they have had too few opportunities to practice doing hard things. Rather than presenting resilience as a personality trait children either have or lack, the book frames it as something parents can help develop through repeated experiences of responsibility, emotional regulation, healthy risk, and manageable discomfort. Its purpose is practical rather than theoretical. It gives parents and caregivers a framework for shifting from rescue-oriented parenting toward preparation-oriented parenting, while maintaining warmth, empathy, and developmental sensitivity. The book fits within the Christian-influenced parenting and child development category, but its central concerns are broadly relevant to families navigating anxiety, screens, achievement pressure, and emotional fragility.
