Little kids have big feelings. And one of the hardest and most important things a child can learn is how to manage them. The fancy name for that is executive function. For bestselling author and mental health counsellor Rebekah Ballagh, it's called getting through the daily challenges of a being a kid who sometimes feel sad, angry, stressed or scared. She's got a new children's book that on the surface, is about a little girl going to school. But it's also a guide for adults to help children deal with some powerful emotions. It's called Let's Go Flo. Jesse talks to Rebekah Ballagh about the book.
