My daughter is tall and athletic, she's also been swimming for as long as she's been walking. But I want her to learn a sport- badminton. Is it too early? She too into dolls and dressing up and everyday theres a prologed battle about, aaaaargh- what to wear. I'm hoping a sport will distract her and show her a world outside of clothes and barbies. But my Q is is it too early for her bones and stuff. I hope she wont get put off all sport forever.

A lot of kids start sports around 6 or 7. I played soccer at that age and at 8 I played softball. I have never had any problems and I loved playing sports-I have never broken any bones.

It is very good for parents to start encouraging a child to participate in sport at 6years old because by 6years you would have known the area of interest of that child. adn your support will go along way to assist in building up that interest from that tendder age.And by the time the child is grown up he must have gathered wealth of experience with the support of the parents he will have an edge over others that started late.

No, your daughter is not to young to start sports. For girls I will stick with more soft and not to aggressive sports such as gymnastics, baseball, volleyball things of that nature. You can visit your local recreational center to see what types of sports they have for her age and what sports you think will best fit her.
