Behaviour is a learned disposition towards both human and animals. Behaviours are not static but contingent. Contingency can be known as a depending phenomenon. Behaviour is not just emitted, but it is emitted under a conscious, subconscious or unconscious circumstances which could be as a result of an undefined phenomenon. When a child misbehaves, such behaviour is not ordinarily natural but is as a result of what happens or has happened in his environment. Instead of you beating the child, it is of greater importance to understand the source of the behaviour. You are not expected to deal with the child, leaving the source of the behaviour undealt with. Such child might still re-emit such behaviour.

Also, to couples (husband and wife). Do not expect a perfect behaviour from your spouse. Every behaviour is dependent on something visible, invisible or undetermined. Do not say "I will change her behaviour" without you understanding the source of her behaviour. As a child of God, you ought to understand the behaviour of our spouse. Perhaps a wife might be someone who is easily angered. The source of the anger may be hereditary and adamic. Firstly, the husband is expected to talk to her lovingly and talk to God fervently in interceding for her unwanted behaviour. The source of anger is 'the devil'. Correcting the wife lovingly and approaching God fervently to take away her adamic nature is very important. This goes to the wife who has an easily angered husband as well.
Generally, behaviour is always dependent on seen, unseen or undetermined circumstances. Therefore, it is never static. When you notice someone behaving unruly, try to find out what the cause of his behaviour could be and work very well on the cause. Change in environment can be a visible factor contributing to one's behaviour. Spiritual circumstances could as well contribute to people's behaviour (This is an undetermined circumstance). You cannot determine spiritual causes of behaviour unless you pray it out to God.
Are you experiencing behaviour defect? Are your siblings or children experiencing behaviour defect? Have you been striving on eradicating a behaviour from someone close to you? Don't just ignore such people or live yourself in such unruly behaviour, check what the cause is and deal with it in the place of consistent and fervent prayer.
I pray: every behaviour planning to ruin you, your spouse, your children or siblings, the Lord shall eradicate them in Jesus name (AMEN).
