I'm interested in how many of you are mentioning sports. My DD enjoys being active, but is not physically talented. I would say she is probably in the bottom 25% for athletic ability, though not delayed. Do any of your kids meet this description or anything near it, or are they talented physically? We do spend a ton of time outdoors, but DD has never been involved in any organized athletics (we've asked, but she's never been interested, and we haven't pushed it). One reason I have hesitated is that I suspect it would be hard on her to be mediocre at something like this AND also not deeply interested (mediocre at it and interested is okay with her, but the combination is not so great, as it isn't for most people, I think!) Or...any suggestions for something physical and demanding yet also very noncompetitive? I have considered yoga. We have a kids' yoga video that she used to love till our ancient VCR ate it. I have yet to find another good one. She has become too old for many of the goofy "kids" yoga videos.
