Doing two sports is pretty good. Can she walk to school or play out after school sometimes?

If you are worried about what she is eating, you could try to control it by only buying the foods that you want her to eat.

Also you could maybe try to involve her in the cooking a bit. She might be a bit more adventurous if she has helped to make something.

What are her portion sizes like? A healthy varied diet is fab but only if portion sizes are age appropriate.

Could you do fun stuff to burn a bit of energy such as having races with each other, "just dance" dance offs, obstacle courses in the garden, etc - things that really get the heart racing but are fun too.
