Misbehaviour (in British English) or misbehavior (American English spelling) is improper, wicked, or immoral behavior. The term is synonymous to a misdeed.
To misbehave means to behave in a wrong, bad way.
Parents are often faced with the challenge to deal with their child's misbehavior. Dr. Rudolph Dreikurs describes four goals of misbehavior:
- Attention Seeking
- Power Struggle
- Revenge Seeker
- Display Real or Alleged Inadequacy
A common and traditional parental response to misbehavior is to scold and/or punish the child for such behavior.
