We use the term "off-track behavior" to describe children's signals for help. Common terms like misbehavior, disobedience, being spoiled or being bratty all carry with them ideas about children that are inaccurate and lead to caregivers' disappointment, upset, and the "crime and punishment" framework that we're working to replace. Calling it "off-track behavior" instead of "misbehavior" can help us see it in a more positive light.
