Why it helps
People you support feel safer and learn faster when the adult beside them feels steady and clear. Coaching builds that steadiness.
The science of co-regulation for workers
Front-line support is a co-regulated relationship. Your state affects the other person’s state. When you are calm and present, it helps down-regulate threat and opens the door to engagement and learning. Research across developmental and social neuroscience describes this mutual regulation between partners and shows how adult stress can erode effectiveness. Training and perceived support reduce that risk. ScienceDirect+3PMC+3PMC+3
