What is ritualistic behaviour?
Ritualistic behaviour is a pattern of behaviour that someone follows without realizing it, such as trying to get a child to put on a new jumper when that new jumper is nothing like any of the child's other jumpers, for example, trying to get a child to wear a 'hoody' instead of a cowl necked jumper. This deviates from what the child perceives to be normal, and thus 'ritualistic,' and can result in a temper tantrum or a major argument (known as challenging behaviour). Anything that deviates from what the child or person believes is 'normal' can cause conflict in the form of tantrums or rows, depending on the person's age and communication abilities.
