have been werriting about the child of our time programme last week that said kids of that age (4) should have about 1hr 15m running around, pref outside per day. Dd (3) is very healthy, eats well, developmentally good but just is not bothered at all about running about. She's not one of these kids with boundless energy who needs a run round every day at the park or they go mad. We do take her out, obviously, but she is mich more concerned with other types of pplay, like imagination games, puzzles and basically quite 'static' stuff. At the playground, she'll try different things but is a bit unadventurous and would rather make a 'house' under the climbing frame and things like that.
I remember being just like that when i was a kid and i hated all the running around and climbing p.e. activities like cross country and gym, although i liked tennis and swimming. Dh is into sports and we're both trying to be positive about physical activity but i can see she's just not into it - am i right to be a bit worried?
