  • Episode 360: The Crisis of Capability in Parents with David and Sissy
    Mar 24 2026
    David and Sissy explore how modern parenting has shifted toward anxiety, over-helping, and outsourcing wisdom to experts—often at the cost of building real capability in kids. They encourage parents to move from relief-driven reactions to resilience-building practices by combining empathy with clear boundaries, trusting their instincts, and giving kids space to struggle and grow. Ultimately, capable parenting focuses less on keeping kids happy and more on helping them become strong, steady, and able to handle life.
