Answer 1

It depends on what SHE likes. If you start at a young age you could begin generating seeds of interest in a number of activities. The best thing to do is to play games with her (kick a soccer ball back and forth, perhaps she'll pick that up?) and ask her when she's old enough to participate in activities she's shown an interest for if she'd like to join a class or team.

There are two benefits that sports provide: a workout that will keep her physically fit and also interaction with people her age with similar interests.

Also, don't forget things like music, dance, and the arts. These are just as important as sports, and sometimes can provide the same physical benefits.

Answer 2

It's neither normal nor abnormal. It's up to the individual child. As to when, it all depends on the sport. T-ball for example should wait until the child is 4-5. Swimming though, you can introduce a child to water at a very young age.

Answer 3

Play games with her. Take her with you to watch when you play sports (while she is too young to participate.) Include her as she is able. Offer her the opportunity to have a variety of experiences and let her choose sports that appeal to her.
Girls (and boys,) want to model their parents. Your interests will often become their interests because they want to win your approval.
If your daughter shows an aptitude for a sport, you can support her. Team sports can be really wonderful at building esteem and self-confidence for girls just as they do for our boys. And no doubt you want her to enjoy the benefits of being physically active and fit for now and the rest of her life.
However, if she shows an interest in something besides sports, hopefully you will support that, too.

Answer 4

Its normal for anyone not to care for sports boy or girl. But you should play sports, even if its tossing a ball to a child as young as they can play.

try the community things in the area. sometimes they do not know what they like until they play. Sometimes its not the sport itself but being shy to be in front of everyone playing.

Girls, boys either do not have to play sports, but can exercise in other ways. There are other type of activities as well they kids can do or attend that are not considered sports, like cheer leading, but they do exercise and be a part of a team just the same.

Answer 5

Playing sports are not normal or abnormal it as become way of entertaining ourselves.I know boys who do not want to break a sweat but like to watch a game .She may like to read or cook so what is wrong with that.Before you introduce your girl to any sport do you play any sports.
Try a mother and daughter swimming class until she feels comfortable.
By the way I am sportsman.I cycle,swim , Jog etc. Yet I like to cuddle with a good book and cook.

Answer 6

I know my friends daughter was a little heavy and she tried to get her interested in sports. But she was clumsy and couldn't run that good and found her nitch in swimming. She is great in long distance swimming. she is no sprinter and she stays with it long after the others stop.
Another boy found his thing in golf, by starting him out with miniture golf until he really started to like it and showed films of golfers and got him lessons. Now he loves it.
It takes the whole family getting involved with the sport. His dad goes out on weekends and they play golf together.

Answer 7

Girls who play sports have better self esteem. Not to mention the importance of physical activity. Athletes have better time management, teamwork and communication skills.

I would definitely introduce your girls to sports. We were playing catch in the backyard with our two year old daughter this weekend. She has her own baseball mitt (pink), bat and wiffle balls!

Answer 8

Some girls don't like sports, big deal. I am a sporty girl, but my sister is a girly girl and wouldn't get dirty if you paid her..Yes, its good to introduce your kids to anything that will keep them active and healthy when they are very young, but if they aren't interested in sports, let them do Dance or something else they like.

Answer 9

it depends on the kid Boy or Girl. They are all individuals some kids like to play sports some have no interest at all. Buy your 2 year old a ball and play kick, or throw the ball back and forth. Babies love to try to throw things. Take your baby with you and have her watch you being active and playing sports and maybe she will pick up on it and enjoy watching it and want to play herself.

Answer 10

Some girls like sports. Others don't. Me I played Volley ball in 10th grade, tried out for cheerleading in 3rd grade and quit that early on, tried Karate and quit that. I don't like playing sports unless it's football(soccer).
