R&R Parenting: React Less, Respond More
R&R React Less, Respond More is the calm, confidence-boosting guide every overwhelmed parent wishes they had. Instead of guessing what your child needs—or getting swept up in the heat of the moment—this book gives you clear, science-backed tools to understand behavior and parent with purpose. So grab your coffee and exhale. This is the kind of clarity that helps families breathe easier.
At the core of the book is Dr. Kathleen Quinn’s signature R&R — React Less, Respond More. Grounded in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), this approach helps you understand what’s actually going on beneath your child’s behavior and your own. With that insight, you can make calmer, more effective choices—especially in those high-stress moments that push every parent’s buttons.
Dr. Quinn takes the science and makes it simple, practical, and doable. You’ll learn how to spot the “why” behind behavior, what drives challenging moments, and how to use ABA-informed tools to guide your child with consistency and compassion. Through the R&R framework—Respond & Redirect, Respond & Replace, and Respond & Reinforce—you’ll gain a clear, step-by-step path to building skills, reducing chaos, and creating more harmony at home.
Each chapter explores essential tools such as the three-second pause, the Parent Reset, using reinforcement the right way, teaching alternative behaviors, and supporting big emotions with steady leadership. Real-life examples and scripts show exactly how to put these strategies into action during meltdowns, power struggles, and everyday bumps in the road.
R&R Parenting offers a grounded, evidence-based roadmap for creating a more predictable, nurturing home where both parent and child can thrive. It’s about stability. It’s about connection. It’s about small shifts that make a big difference.
Because the goal isn’t perfect parenting.
The goal is a prepared, steady parent—one who reacts less, responds more, and leads with clarity and confidence.
