27What is True about Behavior? (continued)
Managing Promoting Self-Discipline
- Challenging behavior is most often related to
some underdeveloped skill (e.g., language,

payoff for the child. - When we have positive relationships with
children, supportive home environments, and when
we focus on teaching social and communication
skills, we reduce the likelihood of challenging
behavior.
