ABSTRACT
Introduction- maladaptive behavior in children is a series of behaviors by children who reacts and behaves inappropriately to internal or external stimuli. A child practicing healthy adaptation to change, for instance, might ask their parent questions about changes in their schedule: “Why am I not going to school? What happened? What am I doing, instead? Are you staying home with me?” and so forth. A child engaging in maladaptive behavior might throw themselves to the ground, hammer their fists on the concrete, and scream. Although both are provoked by fear or discomfort, one successfully navigates the new terrain, while the other increases the sensations prompting the behaviors in the first place. This is why maladaptive behavior is given its moniker: it is not merely bad behavior, but behavior that does not help or actively hinders you from growing, changing, and navigating the world around you.
