[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're not there yet but I will say no to gymnastics and dance. All sports require fitness, but sports or activities that definitely require and emphasize a certain body type and can contribute to disordered eating are not okay in my book.[/quote] This largely dependent on the culture of the gym or studio. I think denying a child the opportunity to take gymanstics or a dance class because of this stereotype is sad. Instead, find a program and coach/teacher with which you feel comfortable. [/quote] I agree. My kids do both gymnastics and dance and fitness is what is emphasized, not body type. If anything, there is a lot of encouragement to eat more because they burn so many calories in practice.[/quote]
