[quote=Anonymous]I was also going to suggest yoga as a nice activity that she won't find intimidating. I would also suggest activities that her sister does not do. Perhaps she is feeling competition. My younger one (same age difference as yours) is just more gifted physically - most things come easier for her. I could see my older one becoming discouraged when her sister moved quickly through levels. Luckily swimming was not an interest of hers so it became the older one's "thing" and it's an area she can enjoy without comparing herself to her sister. If nothing else, get her busy with activities even if they aren't physical. Would she be interested in doing some community service to get her out of the house and away from snacking? Could she play piano at a nursing home? Read at a daycare center? This is the age when many schools start requiring hours. [/quote]
