A person's difficult behavior often comes from a need for resources.
These resources can be love, attention, or time. Understanding this helps a person respond with empathy instead of anger.
Difficult behavior is often a way to get important resources. These resources are not always physical. They can be emotional, like love or attention. They can also be about time. When a person understands this, they can see the behavior differently. This helps the person feel empathy. It helps the person solve the real problem, not just react to the behavior.
Two children are arguing loudly over a blue toy block. A parent might think the children are just being naughty. But the parent realizes the children want the parent's attention. The parent then gives each child some individual time. The fighting stops.
