## Chapter Four: A New Look at Misbehaviour
Misbehaviour =
- "Discouraged behaviour"
- "Lack of skills behaviour"
- "Reptilian brain behaviour"
- "Age-appropriate behaviour"
### The Four Mistaken Beliefs and Mistaken Goals of Behavior
1. Undue Attention—The mistaken belief: I belong only when I have your
attention.
2. Misguided Power—The mistaken belief: I belong only when Im the boss, or at
least when I dont let you boss me.
3. Revenge—The mistaken belief: I dont belong, but at least I can hurt
back.
4. Assumed Inadequacy—The mistaken belief: It is impossible to belong. I give up.
It can be very encouraging to children seeking undue attention, to redirect
them in ways to get attention in contributing ways.
Children operating from assumed Inadequacy need parents to take time to show
them a small step.
### Clues to help identify mistaken beliefs and goals
1. The adult's deeling reaction to the behaviour.
2. The child's response when you tell them to stop the behaviour.
Encouragement is the most effective way to change behavior. An encouraged
child does not need to misbehave.
