1KHO 480: The Skills Kids Actually Need to Navigate Life | David Thomas and Sissy Goff, Raising Boys & Girls

In this power-packed episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast , Ginny Yurich welcomes back two of the most trusted voices in parenting—David Thomas and Sissy Goff from the Daystar Counseling Clinic and The Raising Boys & Girls Podcast . For the first time together on the show, David and Sissy dive deep into the social, emotional, and spiritual milestones our kids must hit to thrive—skills that don’t show up on a report card but make all the difference in life. From why listening is the secret to becoming an interesting person, to how healthy risk fuels resilience, they bring real insight and practical tools for every parent. With warmth, wit, and decades of clinical experience, David and Sissy explore everything from perfectionism in preschoolers to the epidemic of anxious adolescents—and how playful training can shift the entire trajectory. They introduce their new Daystar Dogs book series, designed to equip even the youngest children with courage, resilience, and emotional vocabulary. This episode is a hopeful call to action: parenting is the training ground, and we have what it takes to raise kids who do, too. ** Learn more about David and Sissy and all they have to offer here Get your copy of Lucy Learns to Be Brave here Get your copy of Owen Learns He Has What it Takes here Get your copy of Are My Kids On Track? here A huge thank you to our sponsors!
