[quote=Anonymous]As someone who was very similar as a child, I didn't object to exercise, I objected to people watching, or measuring my exercise, or competing based on it. Softball and basketball were terrible because you stand there and every one watches you miss the ball or the basket. Racing was the same. I was happy to go to the ice skating rink to take lessons or just skate in circles. I didn't want it to turn into speed skating, or figure skating. I was happy to go hiking or skiing with my family. Biking or running in an event with the goal of raising money? Fine. Biking or running to "win"? No. Going to the pool to swim laps, or taking stroke and turn type classes? Yes. Racing? No. I think I would have liked martial arts, if I didn't have to spar. I would look for opportunities for her to be active and enjoy things that aren't competitive. [/quote]
