Behaviour is a very familiar term in our daily lives but in psychology, it is the reaction of an organism to its external environment. Generally, behaviours are situation specific and people learn various behaviours through specific ways of reacting to or dealing with specific situations. When an individual’s behaviour is not proper or suitable to the environment, it is considered to be a maladaptive behaviour pattern, which should be modified with appropriate treatment methods. Maladaptive behaviours are acquired through learning in the same way as that of any behaviour. In children, problems due to maladaptive behaviour patterns are common, and appropriate early interventions are required.Behaviour therapy concentrates more on behaviour and less on its presumed underlying cause. Behavioural modification is one of the approaches of behaviour therapy that aims to change maladaptive behaviours into adaptive ones. Psychological principles, especially learning principles that focuses on consequences of behaviour are effective in modifying maladaptive behaviour.
