Raising Capable Kids
Practical Wisdom. Real Encouragement. Stronger Families.
Join The Christ School as we welcome nationally recognized counselor, bestselling author, and parenting expert David Thomas from Raising Boys & Girls for an inspiring evening designed to equip parents with practical tools and renewed confidence for one of life's greatest callings.
Why This Evening Matters
Today's children are growing up in a world filled with constant distractions, rising anxiety, and increasing digital influence. As parents, many of us are asking the same questions:
- How do we raise resilient kids?
- How do we help our children become confident and emotionally healthy?
- How do we prepare them for life—not just school?
As The Christ School celebrates 30 years of God's faithfulness, we're excited to launch our 2026–27 Parent Education Series by bringing one of the nation's most trusted parenting voices to Orlando.
Whether you're a TCS parent or the friend of one, this evening is designed to encourage, equip, and inspire.
