[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a call from the PE teacher last week because my 5th grader is apparently the only one can't do it. She's thin and does gymnastics 3-5 days a week, but she always has reasons for not being able to finish the mile in PE class - and when she does, it's very slow. Her ped says she's healthy. How can we help her?[/quote] Since she's engaged in another sport 3-5 days a week and presumably otherwise healthy, this is all completely in her head. She can do it, she just chooses not to.... or maybe a better way to think of it is that she's not suitably incentivized to do it. The best approach would be to figure out what carrot(s) might work here and discuss that with her and see how if that works.[/quote]
