[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need a family reset personally. Are your older kids watching their K age sibling every day ? That’s not fair. Can either of you do anything to go into work earlier and get home earlier? [/quote]

Sorry kinder is in ext day — they get recess and play in aftercare as well as do red sports in weekend.

It’s just once you hit middle school — no recess, some gym, and lots of unstructured afternoon time. Sports at school were an easy pick. [/quote]

Why can’t they do sports after school/through school now? A different one than whatever  they got cut from [/quote]

They don’t like what is offered. I don’t want to accept this excuse; spouse is like whatever they weren’t ever going to be an athlete so doesn’t really matter. But I think this kind of fitness habit should start young (we are already too late, probably). [/quote]

I wouldn’t accept it either.  You don’t need to go dictator on them, but find some incentive that could motivate them to participate

Work on your kindergartner now.  Kids love sports when they are good at them and can see successes and improvements.
 They can’t get that if they don’t stick with it.  Start your kinder in sports, preferably individual type sports (or at least one if they are doing a couple) they can’t be cut from and they can participate in year round and flex in and out of as they want [/quote]
