   How can we help children to understand their emotions, manage their worries and build the coping skills that will confidently carry them into adulthood? Psychologist, mum of three and Hero Cards creator Dr Emmie Fulton joins Ben Veal and Sarah Moon on Good Journeys to explore children’s emotional wellbeing and how the thinking patterns we learn in childhood can shape our adult lives. Drawing on her experience working with adults in the NHS and her own journey as a parent, Emmie shares the purpose behind Hero Cards.
