Capable
If you're looking to raise a child who is confident, resilient, and grounded in both truth and grace, Capable by Sissy Goff is a must-read.
Sissy has a remarkable way of combining biblical wisdom, practical parenting strategies, and brain-based insights into a book that is both encouraging and incredibly actionable. Rather than focusing on raising perfect kids, she helps parents raise children who believe, "With God's help, I can do hard things."
I especially appreciate how Capable equips parents to understand anxiety, build resilience, and nurture confidence without relying on shame, fear, or pressure. The book is filled with practical ideas you can begin using immediately while continually pointing families back to God's faithfulness and the secure foundation found in Christ.
Whether your child struggles with worry, self-doubt, perfectionism, or simply needs encouragement to grow in confidence, this book offers hope and practical guidance. It's one of those resources you'll find yourself highlighting, dog-earing pages, and recommending to every parent you know.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I love finding resources that honor both the science of child development and the truth of Scripture—and Capable does exactly that. I highly recommend adding it to your parenting bookshelf. It's a book you'll return to again and again.
