[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to insist that your DD do some type of physical activity. In my case it was dance, which my DD initially hated, but after a while started to like, and after a few years of dance is now pretty good. She also swims, which I "made" her do, and she's pretty good at that too. She's never totally enthusiastic about anything, but I know she's proud of how far she's come in both dance and swimming. Some kids you just have to insist (not in a mean way, but in a firm, "I'm not taking no for an answer" way) they do sports, or they never will. I wish my parents had pushed me, as I was a very bookish, non-sporty kid, who refused pretty much all encouragement to do sports. I wish I'd listened to my parents and learned to play tennis and soccer and softball, but I never did, and now I really regret it. [/quote]
