The document discusses modeling behavior in children. It provides three examples of how children may model behaviors they observe in others: 1) A girl learns that starting fights and crying will get her what she wants from men by observing her mother do this with her father. 2) A boy concludes that people who die get more attention, so he should die too, after seeing his parents be sadder and pay more attention to his deceased brother. 3) Young children try to understand how to get what they want by observing how others, like parents, behave toward each other and solve problems.
