Younger, adler, vasta/child psychology: a canadian perspective, third edition chapter 1 background and theories. Jon is a 9-year-old, and his mother describes him as always having been very active, very curious and eager to please. She is now getting reports from the school saying that he has been getting into trouble for answering questions before he is called on, and for getting out of his seat at the wrong times. He says he doesn"t like school anymore, and doesn"t want to go anymore. His father says this is the wrong attitude and they have been arguing about his lack of effort and how much time he spends playing games rather than on homework. Daniel is a 9-year-old who is also described as being active, curious and eager to please. He lives in a rural setting, and doesn"t have access to a school.
