Misbehavior

What causes a child to misbehave? Well there are many things. In class we made a list of almost 20 reasons, which included things like attention, power, ignorance, rebellion, and simply because they can. So basically children misbehave because they have unmet needs. When those needs are met, they are less likely to misbehave. Of course, even the perfect parent has children that misbehave. That's just part of life. All children get tired, hungry, and bored, which are common, everyday reasons children act out. Good parenting is intentional.
