[quote=Anonymous]OP, what does your daughter like to do?  It's going to be difficult to try to get her to do anything if she doesn't enjoy the activity.  At this point, just go for regular walks around your neighborhood.

Do a craft/cooking activity that involves staying on your feet all the time.  Does she like to sing or dance, do Tiktok videos together or have her sing while standing.

My 8-year old daughter doesn't love sports or physical activity but she does enjoy singing and dancing and spending time with me.  So when we go for a walk, I'll print out lyrics and she'll sing while walking.  Or we play some game while walking.  I've let her watch dance videos and she dances along and when she crafts, I do notice she is standing up the entire time.

Finally, you and your husband should model behavior.  Get into your own fitness regimen.  We work out regularly so all my kids try to spend more time with us by joining our physical activities - whether it be dancing, running, lifting weights, etc.
