Happy Healthy Parents Make Happy Healthy Children.
-Dr. Miriam Stoppard

In this modern age, people normally live in a nuclear family rather than a joint family. And their life is busy in every aspect where every second count. Parents are busy working while the children are busy with their studies. So, the communication between parents and children is lacking which should be and is a very important part of life.

Whenever we share our problems with others, though the problem may not be solved, we will feel good inside. Especially, the children might get confused because they need to listen to many voices - that of teachers, friends, neighbors, and relatives. So, there is the possibility of them doing wrong things. And communication with parents is the only solution to get rid of all these problems and doubts.

Today's generation is really amazing because all are independent. Parents' go to work and children go to school. But instead of going to school, if children go to cinema halls during school hours, then something is going wrong.

Coming home late, lying to parents, misbehaving, lack of obedience, to parents are some characters seen in those children who are not so attached to their parents. They also get involved in bad habits and ruin their life. But due to the gap in communication, parents will be unaware of all these things. And when they find out, it might just be too late. At that time, care, motivation, and even inspiration will not work.

Many children commit suicide because of parents' individual differences. We have all heard about such cases and it is all due to frustration, insecurity, and pain. So, parents should take time out for their children, communicate with them, listen to them carefully and show them the right path. And the children will surely make their parents proud.

Behavioral approach in Clinical Psychology

APSARA KATUWAL DANGOL Behavioral approach is based on the belief that behavior can be learned. It focuses on a scientific and objective method of investigation. It is also concerned with observable Stimulus-Response behaviors. This approach also focuses on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behavior. Early theorist Ivan Pavlov discovered classical conditioning (associative learning). He conducted a famous study using dogs. It focused on the effects of a learned response to a stimulus. For example, a dog started salivating when it heard the bell. Here, the sound of the bell would symbolize the message of getting food. Another behaviorist, Edwar L. Thorndike discovered Operant Conditioning and later B.F. Skinner analyzed operant conditioning. It is based on rewards and punishment to shape people's behavior. Edward L. Thorndike discovered Animal Intelligence. He found that punishment didn't weaken S-R connections but inhibited their expression.
