Scenario:

Ria is 3 years 1month old girl. She moved from Amen room (2-3 years) to Taylors' room (3-4 years). This girl partially can't hear. She also gets annoyed with too many loud noises. As a result, she gets angry and frustrated very quickly and starts hitting the person who stops her from doing what she is doing. One day just before lunchtime Ria was standing next to this another girl named Sophia. Ria snatched a doll from Sophia without asking her, and then Sophia started crying and asked her to give her toy back. When Ria noticed Sophia coming towards her to get the doll, she abruptly pulls her hair and runs away. When Sophia went to the teacher crying to complain, Ria prepared to shield herself. She told the teacher that it was her toy, and she was holding it first, then the educator interrupted and told the truth to the teacher, Ria made an angry face and didn't reply to the teacher. Ria ran to the couch and sat next to a boy. He didn't want her to sit next to him. She started roaring at him, and he overreacted and cried. Looking at his reactions, she enjoyed and decided to do it constantly.
