In this article, I aim to give a
brief insight into understanding behaviours, in order for parents to
Islamically raise up children and/or change their behaviours to an Islamic one.
The
theory goes that a person is born with a set of inherited emotions that stays
with him throughout his life. This is called personality. Whereas attitudes are
gained through learning which represents the mental or thinking side of him.
These attitudes can stay the same by reinforcement of old experiences or can
change through new experiences. Taken together, personality and attitude form a
person's behaviour.
