Bad Behavior: Positive rewards for bad behavior. Two to three year olds certainly throw tantrums. But this is not acceptable behavior. Children need limit setting, boundaries and positive rewards for good behaviors. Often times, children get rewarded with attention for their bad behaviors which reinforces their bad behavior. Corporal punishment is inappropriate for children.
