[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, and I really appreciate all the thoughtful advice here.

A Wii is an interesting idea, we may try that. DD refuses soccer but I was looking for a running team before covid. We do as many masked outdoor playdates as we can arrange.

To the PP who asked what in me is reacting, you are correct: I was raised with an emphasis on planning my actions -- in the sense of not doing something that two seconds of thought would have revealed to be dumb or dangerous. Being aware of surroundings, moving with care, etc. are important to me.  And she's only 7, I know.  But for example the dog was sleeping on the dog's bed in a corner: DD really had to work to step on the dog, who could have been hurt (but wasn't, thankfully). That's the kind of thing that sets me off. [/quote]

Look into Girls on the Run.  I think it starts in second grade?

You need to let go of that much preplanning.  It's age-inappropriate for a 7yo.  And you already said it was dark, so I don't think it was that hard to trip over the dog.[/quote]
