What If Children Already Know Who They Are?

Veronica Moya is a children’s emotional wellness expert, mindfulness educator, author, entertainer, and the creator of Mindful V, an educational children’s channel focused on helping children build confidence, emotional resilience, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to their inner wisdom. In this conversation, Veronica and I explore what it means to help children trust what they already know inside. Veronica does not approach children’s emotions as something to simply manage, control, or cope with. Instead, she invites children to recognize that they have access to something deeper than the emotion itself — an inner compass, an intuitive knowing, and a sense of self that can guide them. We talk about why children are often more connected to their inner guidance than adults realize, and how easily that connection can be dismissed, interrupted, or explained away by the adults around them. Veronica shares why mindfulness for children is not about making kids quiet. It is about helping them become confident, self-aware, emotionally intelligent, and self-led. This conversation is deeply aligned with My Inner Knowing because so much of adult healing is about reclaiming self-trust, inner connection, and emotional clarity we may have lost or learned to override when we were young. What would change if children were taught from the beginning that their inner world matters? What would happen if adults became more curious about what children are sensing, feeling, and knowing — instead of so quickly correcting, dismissing, or explaining it away? And how might childhood change if mindfulness was not taught as a way to calm children down, but as a way to help them remember who they are?

Children often learn through experience more than explanation. Meditation, visualization, storytelling, creative expression, and being listened to with curiosity can help children recognize that their inner world matters.
