Encourage, bribe and insist  on your daughter playing a team sport. Start her on swim team, she doesn’t have to be super talented and will be placed with othersin her skill set. Really talk it up and get hyperbolic about all sports accomplishments, even if it is just complimenting her persistence- “she’s not a quitter.” There is heaps of media now to help you out with the “strong, competent women”  pep talk. Show her rugby player IIona Maher. Chances are good that your dd’s genetics are not going to skew thin- work on muscular and the body confidence that comes with mastering a sport.[/quote]

This is great advice.  Swimming and tennis are great choices. They are lifelong sports.  If she becomes proficient and enjoys them now at a young age, she will always have a fun way to keep her body strong and active without it feeling like a duty.  Everyone hates being forced on a treadmill like a hamster.  Playing a sport is so much more enjoyable and sustainable.  [/quote]
