Question 1

Obesity emerges as a problem during middle childhood due to:&#10;A)overeating and poor nutrition.&#10;B)intelligence and physical maturation.&#10;C)social impairments.&#10;D)sensory-related issues.

Accepted Answer

During middle childhood, children become more autonomous and have more control over their food choices. If they are not taught healthy eating habits and given access to nutritious foods, they may overeat and consume foods high in calories and low in nutrients, leading to obesity. Obesity can also result from physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle, which may become more prevalent during middle childhood as children spend more time sitting in front of screens and less time engaging in physical activity.
