The action of changing the direction or focus of something to a new target or purpose.
From Latin 'redirect-' meaning 'led back' from 're-' (back) plus 'dirigere' (to direct). The concept evolved from physical direction to abstract guidance of attention or resources.
In psychology, redirection is a crucial technique for managing behavior - instead of just saying 'no' to unwanted behavior, effective redirection provides an alternative positive action, working with natural impulses rather than against them.
