NOT performance.
This isn't about kids running 5k's or doing triathlons or racing anything competitively. This is for generic health, balance, and enough ability do play or have fun how they want.
What have you done creatively or motivational to make it "click" with your kid that you have to put in even a little work to be able to extract fun out of the things you enjoy doing?
Our oldest, it doesn't "click". Loves soccer, gets frustrated he can't do "more" or be "better"........then he won't do anything about it. Hates doing "touch" drills or anything involving some running for soccer. You know, the basics you do to do more or be better at soccer.
Just an example. This is not challenge league. Just rec. He's healthy, but some activities don't give him the happiness he seems to expect due to lower fitness ability. So health wise, none of it bothers me. I just see him get unhappy at happy activities sometimes because of this.
