What will be an ideal response?
An adaptive behavior allows a child to develop social, emotional, and behavioral competence over time and meet the changing demands of the environment. However, adaptive behaviors are relative to the environmental context. The age of the child must be taken into account. We can also see that sometimes problematic behavior can result in an attempt to cope with a challenging environment (the book tells the story of Xavier who runs away from home overnight and earns low grades, attempting to escape physical maltreatment from home. That’s not necessarily maladaptive considering his environment).
