Helping Children Manage Emotions & Build Resilience | Veronica Moya

Raising calm, confident, and resilient kids starts with giving them tools to handle big emotions—and mindfulness is one of the most powerful ways to do that.

In this episode, I sit down with Veronica Moya, visionary educator, founder of Mindful V, and author of “Goom Finds His Happy Place.” With over 25 years of experience in holistic education and features in outlets like The New York Times and Telemundo, Veronica brings a fresh, playful approach to meditation and mindfulness for children.

We explore:
* Why mindfulness isn’t “too abstract” for kids—and how to make it playful.
* How mindfulness practices actually support focus, reading, and math.
* Simple, everyday tools parents can use to help kids manage anxiety, sadness, and overstimulation.
* Why emotional intelligence is just as important as academics for our children’s future.
* Practical strategies educators and homeschooling parents can weave into the day.
✨ Veronica’s new book Goom Finds His Happy Place gives kids ages 5–10 concrete strategies for handling anxiety and sadness—something parents and educators are craving now more than ever.
