The rule

A person's difficult behavior often comes from a missing skill.

It does not come from a bad attitude. Finding the missing skill helps solve the problem.

Difficult behavior often means a person needs a certain skill. The person is not trying to be difficult. A developer can look for the missing skill. This helps the developer find a solution. It changes judgment into curiosity.

A student often misses deadlines. A teacher might think the student does not care. But the student might lack time management skills. The teacher can then teach time management. This helps the student meet deadlines.
