[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 daughters who are completely opposite. My 9 yr old is very active, she is currently in gymnastics 12 hours a week, and also takes acro classes and lyrical classes. She even loves walking the track with me on the weekends. 
My 12 yr old is more into books, playing her violin and keyboard, doesn't like to go outside because it's "boring". I also noticed every summer she starts putting on a little weight and gradually losing it during the school year. 
She's at that age where she gets moody also. I suggest things to her so she can stay active like playing soccer, dance, basketball, swimming, and she turns down everything. 
Should I just force her to do an activity? I told her she is going to join "this or that" and she has no choice and starts crying and she stays upset for the whole day. I explained to her just try it out you never know you might wind up liking it. 
She just rather be home snacking and reading. By the way, I do not have junk food at home but she still over eats through out the day.
