That’s where the QRS™ Technique comes in. It’s a 3-step reset that stops the spiral before it takes over.
Here’s what QRS™ looks like:
Q – Question. What’s really happening here? (Hint: it’s usually not about the spilled snack.)
R – Regulate. Pause. Breathe. Borrow calm before you teach it.
S – Simplify. Choose connection over correction. One gentle cue, one step forward.
You don’t need another parenting framework—you need a reset that works in real time.
Because the truth is: meltdowns aren’t about behavior.
They’re about a child asking for connection.
