Which of the following is a negative behavior that children may exhibit?

• A. Violent behaviors
• B. Excellent communication
• C. Strong empathy
• D. High generosity

Answer: (B)

Recognizing negative behaviors in children means noticing actions that harm others, break safety rules, or show an inability to regulate emotions. Violent behaviors fit this pattern because they involve physical aggression, threats, or property damage, which can endanger people and indicate the child is having trouble managing anger or stress. These behaviors often point to the need for guidance and support to help the child learn safer ways to express feelings, set boundaries, and address underlying causes such as frustration, anxiety, or trauma. By comparison, positive social traits like excellent communication, strong empathy, and generosity reflect healthy interactions and coping skills, so they are not negative behaviors.
