Case Study 2: Jason is a kindergarten student. His mum is the principal of the private school he attends to. He is very intolerant to frustration and throw a tantrum when he comes across a situation that doesn’t go his way. Interacting with his peers is a challenge for him. When he does, he struggles to control his anger and can cry, scream and even be aggressive with them at times when he disagrees with them. Also, when his teachers say no to him, he storms out of the classroom, usually crying and screaming, and goes to his mum’s office, who allows this behavior.
