 Got evidence? 
 Pavlov’s research on reinforcement with dogs. Children learn through reinforcement as well. It is not instinctual for a kid to bang his head on the floor to get what he wants. 
 You can reinforce some behavior in dogs, therefore all behavior in children is reinforced learning.

 Sorry, i thought we were just talking shit on nostr. I actually couldn't believe you would make such a mistake, so i thought you weren't serious. 
 Behaviorism applies to children too. They’ve developed a field of therapy called applied behavior analysis to work on autistic children. It’s the most successful and common treatment for autistic children with behavioral issues like tantrums. https://image.nostr.build/2483b914854beeaa4b0c6edd413949d2d16d40734884a16eee02cc2b5a36669a.jpg
