[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure you can say model behavior, and we’ll try but as working parents if 3 kids without local family we spend a LOT of time cooking, cleaning, and transporting for kids on top of long demanding jobs with commutes.

DD is naturally sedative, low key likes to just stay in room and read, but we want to make sure is active every day. She used to have after school sport but now upper grade she was cut from team and there are no other sports she’s interested in. A rec sport might be fun, but that’s once a week for practice and game.

I would love to just get her out walking after school for 45 min, biking, shooting hoops in our yard — but we have no neighborhood friends so this is something she would do solo and on her own initiative as we are busy working.

Since sport has ended, every afternoon she is just hanging out in her room doing homework and talking to friends etc.

How do we encourage her? Get a gym membership and encourage her to go? Kick her out of the house? Take off time from work and toss baseball around?

We worry too about triggering eating disorder too, but we are not a fit family to begin with but want better for our kids. My family has rich history of BED. [/quote]

You said you have three children.  Why are you only focused on your daughter? Is it because she is the eldest?[/quote]
