Moms, parenting tweens and teens can be downright confusing. Some behaviors are developmentally normal—yet those same behaviors can also signal that it’s time to step in.
Today’s guests, Sissy Goff and David Thomas, are experts at helping parents understand the difference. Both are licensed therapists with more than 30 years of experience supporting children and families in Nashville. Through their widely followed platform, Raising Boys and Girls, they equip parents nationwide with practical tools.
They’re also the authors of the new book Capable, which explains why resilience may be the most important trait we can help our kids develop.
In this episode, they share clear guidance on:
* what kids wish their parents knew about the pressures of growing up today
* understanding the difference between pulling away from parents and isolating from friends and activities
* why avoiding eye contact during a sensitive conversation is actually a good thing (and what to do instead)
* why boys are more likely to hide their insecurities and struggles and what to say to connect
* recognizing whether your child is struggling or truly feeling debilitated by their challenges
