[quote=Anonymous]DD is non-competitive, non-athletic and not interested in sports.  This is only an issue b/c she absolutely hates PE in school and is not developing healthy habits in regards to her activity level.  She's content staying home reading or engaging in imaginative play.  She's really creative and a great kid, but she's hard to get interested in anything active.  Some of her reluctance is she just likes other things more, but lately we've noticed she makes comments about not liking things because she's not good at them and she is more adamant about not joining activiites.  How do we help her build confidence and feel more comfortable engaging in active/sports type activities.  (We've tried swimming, soccer, ice skating, track, basketball and dance with various degrees of success in the past, currently the only thing she somewhat enjoys is dance) .

Looking for confidence building and skill building ideas as well as ways to help her see the positive sides of activity/exercise.  Wanting to help develop lifelong healthy habits, not becoming a super star athlete.
