The five types of behavior are innate behavior (instinct), learned behavior (conditioning), social behavior (interactions with others), emotional behavior (expressions of feelings), and adaptive behavior (adjusting to the environment).
Human behavior can be classified into different categories such as cognitive behavior (related to thoughts and mental processes), emotional behavior (related to feelings and expressions), social behavior (related to interactions with others), and instinctual behavior (related to innate reflexes and survival mechanisms). These categories help us understand the complexities of human behavior across various dimensions.

If you respond to a pout in a way that the child considers favorable then the behavior will continue and be used more often to get attention. Prevention is simple, Ignore it. It will be difficult at first and may escalate into crying or tantrums, they want that attention. Sooth them if need be but do not give them what they were pouting about until you get the behavior that is appropriate. Reward good behavior not bad.
