II. Motivation for listening: The CDC Center For disease Control and Prevention, concluded that child obesity is an important factor that is attributed to many diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma, and insomnia just to mention a few. There are also many side effects to these diseases, for example if an obese child is having problems sleeping at night the child daytime activities aren’t as productive as a child that have a good night sleep. The child with insomnia has difficulties in concentrating at school institutes, and at home they just eat and sleep. The variety of foods and there marketing are also important factors that contributed to child obesity, because the amount of calories that are found in fast foods exceeds the amount of exercise a child performs. And the marketing misleads the people to make the wrong decisions, given priorities to their financial incomes. Parents have an important role in providing their children with healthy life styles, and preventing them from falling into the tentative propaganda of unhealthy products. Also the schools which are the child’s second home have an important role in teaching their children…

The prevalence of emotional and behavioral disorders among children is not peculiar to our current days. In the 1960’s, the Educational Psychologist named Marjorie Boxall, who worked at the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA), noticed how difficult it was for some students to adapt with the demands of school and maintain a healthy relationship with people around them. Those children mostly came from families that were affected by the stressful social, economical and political disturbances that took place at the time. Having to deal with a lot of hardships, those children’s parents were incapable of meeting their children’s need for a secure and loving experience in their early years of age (Boxall, 2002).…
