Answer 3

In children, learned behavior can be both good and bad. An example of a bad learned behavior is whining until they get their own way. If you give in to the whining, the child will learn that whining will win. Eventually, you as the parent will be able to stand the whining and hold steady...so the child will whine longer or louder. And if you give in to that, they learn that eventually my parent will give in. And as your resolve to hold out, the child will escalate to crying, temper tantrums, running away, etc....because he/she knows you will eventually give in.

An example of a good learned behavior is manners. Children are not born with good manners. They are taught by example, gentle reminders, etc. Positive reinforcement goes a long way with manners.
