It may depend on the child’s age, personality, and physical and emotional development.
Normal, or appropriate, behavior is usually determined by whether it is socially,
culturally and developmentally appropriate. Knowing what to expect from your child
at each age will help you decide whether his or her behavior is normal.

Generally children tend to continue a behavior when it has a pleasant consequence attached to it or it is rewarded, and stop a behavior when it is ignored.

Some problems are short-lived and are appropriate to the stage of development of the
child. You may need to be a little flexible. For example there is a limit to how
early a child can be taught how to use a toilet or dress him or herself.

You can stop insignificant but annoying behaviors by ignoring them and Introducing
new preferable behaviors and then reinforcing or rewarding your child.
