[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are late, but encourage a no cut sport with year round practicing.  Swim team clubs and tennis are good sports that don’t really have a beginning or end season and are life long sports.  If they won’t do that they need to pick a school sport every season they can’t be cut from.  Cross country, track? [/quote]

My spouse hates sports, so making my DD do a sport she doesn’t like isn’t going to go well. We need at home inspiration [/quote]

Well that really makes no sense given your stated limitations.[/quote]

+1.

My children do not have a choice. They must do year round sports. I grew up the same way. You don't get to sit in your arse doing nothing.

When you work 8 hours a day, you can choose to be lazy, but as long as you are under my roof, you will participate in sports year round.

My DH and I are sedentary and overweight, but we were not at our kids ages.[/quote]

So the way you were raised didn’t turn out that well but you’re hell-bent on re-enacting it?[/quote]

This is how most parents parent.

OP -- if you really want your kid to do something, you need to talk to her about why it's important. Make it a requirement, but have her figure out what she wants to do, and how to make it happen. Let her know the paramenters though -- if she chooses karate and your school doesn't offer it, can you hire someone to drive her there, or can she get there by herself?

When people talk about modeling, it's just the idea that if you want her to exercise because you want good health, than you have to show her that you practice what you preach. But you don't need to do it with her, or do it at the same time. [/quote]
