Patterns of behavior need not be innate, they can be acquired and become increasingly strengthened through repetition. Series of actions that have become habitual start out as single, individually considered, and selected choices. Later they develop into the automatic actions we call [[habit]]s.

==Children's Behavior==

It is an important responsibility of [[parents]] to educate and [[discipline]] their children, to teach them good behavior. The Bible makes it clear that children sometimes misbehave and parents should [[punishment|punish]] them when they do so. Proverbs 22:25 says that "Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far away". The Bible makes it clear that [[spanking]] is an appropriate way to address children's misbehavior. Proverbs 13:24 states that "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them" while and Proverbs 23:13 says "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die."
