Unlocking Your Daughter's Smarts (Interview with Dr. Kathy Koch)

Michelle Watson

Today’s guest is Dr. Kathy Koch (“cook”), founder of Celebrate Kids, Inc., based in Fort Worth, Texas, and Ignite the Family conferences. She has influenced thousands of parents, teachers, and children in 30 countries through keynote messages, seminars, chapels, banquet talks, and other events. She is a regular speaker for Care Net, Summit Ministries, the Colson Center, and Teach Them Diligently. She is also a popular guest on Focus on the Family radio, she was featured in Kirk Cameron’s movie, Connect, and she has published six books with Moody Publishers.

Dr. Kathy loves seeing children flourish and helping parents make it happen—and she says it’s never too late to start. In her own words, she asks: Your daughter is smart, but does she believe it?

Today Dr. Kathy unpacks the power word "smart" as she has discovered that daughters who believe they’re smart will excel more in school and approach life with greater confidence. Dr. Michelle asks her to educate fathers in knowing how to lead their daughters to embrace their “smarts,” which is an overview of her book, 8 Great Smarts; Discover and Nurture Your Child’s Intelligences, which is available at: https://www.8greatsmarts.com/.
