[quote=Anonymous]They shouldn't be sedentary. You are setting them up to unhealthy as adults. They both need to be doing a physical activity. It doesn't have to be a team sport, but something regular where they raise their heartbeat. They can choose and change it up, but they need to so something. They both need to practice going out of their comfort zone to try new things and meet new people. Summer camps are good for this. Activities also work. But they need to put themselves out there and practice those social skills. They both also need to learn to do hard things. Maybe school is hard for them and that's enough, but elementary school comes easily for many kids. My kids study an instrument so they can learn how to practice and improve. Other kids learn this with math, coding, chess, or sports. The activity doesn't matter as much as having to put in sustained effort to improve. [/quote]
