This article is based on true story..
An example story of poor family..
As I see my sister family I Can say that they are happy.
They are 8 in the family.. My brother in law is farmer and my sister is his assistant in many things they do.
They childs are 14 years old, 12 years old, 10 years old, 4 years old, 2 years old and the youngest is 1 year..
As the title of this article the effect of poverty is my concern.. Effect on thier emotional, social and physical conditions. I may not be in the position to conclude thier situation. My writtings are based on my observation..
The oldest is a girl a teenager i always see her crying when she is assigned to take care of her 2 yougest brother while her parents is in farm.. I keep on asking her why she said she is always baby sitter.. As I observe her behavior she is aloof and tidy.. Being teenager maybe she want to be with here friends and do something that the teenager always do..
I am sad but hearing her side but her parents need her to be a second mother to assist her younger siblings.
The two boys are also aloof and anti social they are assigned to stock water and firewood for they everyday needs..
The children behavior is not normal as they grow they maturity physicaly and emotionaly are late. Mentaly as grade 7 seven student can not read in english also late.
I hope that my observation is not fully correct.
I hope that I can say that they will grow and overcome those things affecting them..
