Eleven coaches from diverse educational backgrounds completed a standardized training protocol. Feasibility was assessed via observations and coach self-report of adherence and competence.

Parent call engagement was rated high (M\u2009=\u20092.70; 3-point scale). Most parents (75%) attended \u22656 of 11 coaching calls, and 64% completed all 6 digital program modules. Satisfaction was strong, with 93.6% of parents reporting being satisfied or very satisfied, and over 70% felt connected to their coach. Calls were brief (M\u2009=\u200912.9\u2009minutes), supporting feasibility for busy families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An intervention-agnostic coaching model delivered by non-specialists was feasible and acceptable for parent participants.
