Micah comes from a middle class family. Both parents work and he has two brothers and one sister. His friend, Sheila is an only child and her father is the CEO of a large company. Sheila's mother can afford to stay at home. Describe some of the differences in terms of academic achievement, social skills and self-esteem that you might expect to see between Sheila and Micah.

Explanation / Answer

"Investigations of brain size in persons with long-term obesity has revealed that increased body fat is associated with the atrophy (wasting away) of brain tissue, particularly in the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain." Obesity is one of the most seriuos concern throughout the world. In children if its not being cured at right time, it can create a lot of problem that could be health related as well as social also. cohorts use to make fun of these children hence parental counselling and attention for their wards is very much required. Children with obesity should be given confidence to face the world without any negative thoughts and parents should also consult with physicians on regular time basis so that their wards get proper medical attention.

As far as Micah and Sheila's upbringimg is concerned, their academic performence is irrespective of their family status or richness as academic performence is individual's calibre and not dependent on all these. Still if a child is getting all the facility at home for his or her uninterrupted studies, it is certainly a plus point.

But sometimes micah may go into inferiority complex seeing the high profile status of sheila, but these things can be overcome if her parents stand by her in these emotional doldrums.
