    Episode 1: Co-Regulation and Mindfulness for Young Children: Launching Plant the Seed of Learning
    Jan 7 2026

    In our debut episode of Plant the Seed of Learning, Aimee and Crystal introduce the mission behind the podcast—merging the education and medical models to bring science-based, practical insights to parents, teachers, therapists, and policymakers. We walk through our seven recurring segments and dive into this week’s topic: the real science of co-regulation and developmentally appropriate mindfulness. Learn why young children can’t self-regulate on their own, what the research actually says about mindfulness in early childhood, and one simple strategy you can try tomorrow.
