QUESTION 1 [25]
1.1 Emotional development and health are two aspects of children's ability to
understand and control their moods and feelings. Name emotional reactions that
the following children may express in their emotional development:
a. An ill child
b. A hungry child
c. An obese child
d. A tired child

Read the case study and answer questions 1.2 and 1.3.
Hlogi is a ten-year-old girl living with her mother, a single parent. Hlogi spends most
of her time watching television or playing computer games rather than playing
outside. Her mother is studying for a postgraduate degree to improve her
qualifications, employment prospects and her wages at her present employment.
When Hlogi is hungry, she snacks on potato chips, biscuits, orange squash and
occasionally a banana – the only food she likes. Her mother does not mind because
Hlogi's snacking, and being confined to the house, works in her favour. During this
time, her mother manages to write her assignments and she knows that by the time
she needs to prepare meals, Hlogi will be full. When Hlogi's mother prepares meals,
they are usually pre-packaged meals, which are high in saturated fats and
carbohydrates. Hlogi has gained weight and is the only overweight learner in her
class. Other children ridicule her and have nicknamed her "Mama Fatty". As a result,
she has started to isolate herself from her peers.
1.2 Which factors may detriment Hlogi's health? Briefly explain why they have a
negative impact on her. (8)
1.3 Imagine you are in Hlogi's mom's situation of studying. You are aware of how
much your daughter is stressing about her weight due to unhealthy eating.
Discuss the key elements that you need to focus on for your child to be healthy. (12)
