Curry · Answer 1

This pattern is known as: b) coersion

Explanation:

When kids realice that they can manipulate to obtain something out of their bad behavior, the behavior results on repeting itself instead of changing.

Parents that rely on bribing methods ofthen get manipulated by the kids, because they learn how to get somethin out of their bad behavior.

Collin's parents teach him with their bribing that he can turn things on his favor, so he could stop but then repeat himself in order to obtain somehing. This becomes a pettern, because he repeats what his doing to manipulate the situation.
