[quote=Anonymous]OP these people are nuts. Ignore the forever snide vibe. I had a similar kid and what worked many would scorn at but it worked. I gave her the iPad on a treadmill. She watched movies while jogging and would jog or fast walk for an hour at a time. And grew to really like the workout. I never told her how long to go for. She started at a high elevation and low speed. Then we did family hikes ( no electronics or headphones allowed) and biking - rafting - rock climbing and skiing on weekends - she was never a team sport kid. But yes we did say “ you need to get exercise three times a week“ and it didn’t destroy her. As well we do have scales around the house and we do talk about weight here and there and everyone is still alive. It’s all just part of the interstitial banter - no one has eating disorders or bad self images or is freaked out. We try stuff - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but we keep changing it up and trying. [/quote]
