Social 

1. Other than impact on health it also give effects social and emotional health complication. One of the social and emotional complications is low self-esteem and bullying. Children often tease or bully their overweight peers, who suffer a loss of self-esteem and an increased risk of depression as a result which consequently will effect children education.
2. Moreover Overweight children tend to have more anxiety and poorer social skills than normal-weight children have. At one extreme, these problems may lead overweight children to act out and disrupt their classrooms. At the other, they may cause overweight children to socially withdraw.
3. Furthermore depression is one the highest factor that are going through by obese children. Low self-esteem can create overwhelming feelings of hopelessness in some overweight children. When children lose hope that their lives will improve, they may become depressed. A depressed child may lose interest in normal activities, sleep more than usual or cry a lot. Some depressed children hide their sadness and appear emotionally flat instead. 

Physical

PHYSICAL

There are six types of Physical Effects on Childhood Obesity: 

1. One of the physical health effects that will impact your child who is undergoing obese are Type 2 diabetes which is a chronic condition that affects the way your child's body uses sugar (glucose). 
2. Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
3. Other than that child who is obese also are high in risk to have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndromes are conditions that can put your child at risk of developing heart disease, diabetes or other health problems. This cluster of conditions includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL ("good") cholesterol and excess abdominal fat.
4. Having high blood pressure is also one of the highest factors that affect obese children health. These factors can contribute to the buildup of plaques in the arteries. These plaques can cause arteries to narrow and harden, which can lead to a heart attack or stroke later in life.
5. Sleeping disorders also one of the biggest problem having by children who is obese which potentially serious disorder as child's breathing repeatedly stops and starts when he or she sleeps.
6. For girls who are obese it can cause early puberty or menstruation as it creates hormone imbalances that may cause puberty to start earlier than expected.

Causes

What are the causes of Childhood Obesity?

First- generally caused by eating too much and moving too little. If you consume high amounts of energy from your diet, particularly from fat and sugars, but do not burn off the energy through exercise and physical activity, much of the surplus energy is then stored by the body as fat.

Second- calories as the energy value of food is measured in units called calories. The average physically active man needs about 2,500 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight, and the average physically active woman needs about 2,000 a day. This may sound high, but it can be easy to reach this limit if you eat certain types of food. For example, eating a large takeaway hamburger, fries and a milkshake can total 1,500 calories – and that's just one meal. Another problem is that many people are not physically active, so lots of the calories they consume end up being stored in the body as fat.

Third- poor diet. Obesity does not happen overnight. It develops gradually over time, as a result of poor diet and lifestyle choices, such as:

• eating large amounts of processed or fast food that is high in fat and sugar.
• drinking too much alcohol – alcohol contains a lot of calories, and people who drink heavily are often overweight.
• eating out a lot – you may be tempted to also have a starter or dessert in a restaurant, and the food can be higher in fat and sugar.
• eating larger portions than you need – you may be encouraged to eat too much if your friends or relatives are also eating large portions.
• drinking too many sugary drinks – including soft drinks and fruit juice.
• comfort eating – if you feel depressed or have low self-esteem, you may eat to make yourself feel better. 

Fourth- unhealthy eating habits tend to run in families, as children learn bad eating habits from parents when they are young and lead to childhood obesity.

Fifth- lack of physical activity also a main cause why children getting involved in obesity problems. Computers, television, and video games inspire to keep kids inside and sedentary, which means they burn fewer calories and are more likely to gain weight. Concerns about the safety of outside play and a reliance on cars instead of walking – even to the corner store – don’t help matters. By preschool age, many kids are already lacking enough activity, which often translates into poor exercise habits later in life.

Sixth-  genetics as If your child was born into a family of overweight people, he or she may be genetically predisposed to the condition, especially if high-calorie food is readily available and physical activity is not encouraged. This is one of the causes where parents did not take good care in children until they get in obese as they set their mind as parents claim that there is no point in trying to lose children weight because "it runs in my family" or "it's in my genes".

Seventh- medical condition as genetic diseases and hormonal disorders that can predispose a child to obesity, such as hypothyroidism, (when the thyroid gland, located in the neck just below the voice box, is underactive and does not release enough of the hormones that control metabolism), Prader-Willi syndrome (a genetic disorder affecting the part of the brain that controls feelings of hunger)  and Cushing's syndrome (a disorder in which your body is exposed too much of the hormone cortisol from overproduction in the adrenal glands or use of medications such as those for asthma).

Eighth- society also has contributed to childhood obesity.

Nineth- as overweight and obesity have become more common, there have been some major changes in how we live. These changes have led to people either eating more or becoming less active, all of which has contributed to an increase in overweight and obesity. For example:

• The overall cost of food has gone down.
• More food is prepared away from home.
• Energy-dense foods and drinks are more readily available.
• Portion sizes have increased.
• Marketing of energy-dense foods and drinks has increased.
• The use of cars has increased.
• The number of two-income families has increased.
• The time spent in paid employment has increased.
• The role of physical education in the school curriculum has reduced.

Introduction

What's Childhood Obesity?

                            Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century. The problem is global and is steadily affecting many low- and middle-income countries, particularly in urban settings. Childhood obesity is a medical condition that affects children and teenagers. Everyone has a body shape that is just right for them but sometimes we can store excessive body fat. If a child or adult stores too much fat they can be classified as obese. A sign of childhood obesity is a weight well above the average for a child's height and age. It occurs when a child is well above the normal weight for his or her age and height.

                  A child is considered to be obese when he or she has a body mass index in the 95^th percentile. This means that the child weighs more than 95 percent of other children of the same age and sex. Obesity puts children at a higher risk for developing certain medical problems later in life. Childhood obesity is particularly troubling because the extra pounds often start children on the path to health problems that were once confined to adults, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity can also lead to poor self-esteem and depression. Not all children carrying extra pounds are overweight or obese. Some children have larger than average body frames. And children normally carry different amounts of body fat at the various stages of development.
