The 5 yo girl is daddy's little princess. She's the first born and was always spoiled. One behavior that her parents taught her was that if she didn't want to walk anywhere, be it around the block, to the park, to the store with mommy, that was okay. Daddy brought the car to work and would do the driving. In fact mommy never even learned to drive. So what did she do when she would need to go out with her daughter? She would put her in the stroller or carry her. The girl is 5 years old now and complains of having sore legs (she's just lazy) if asked to join an adult to walk around the block. There was a park 1/2 mile away that would take 10 minutes to walk as an adult, maybe 15 as a young child and she expected to be brought by the car to the park and back.I have a chance to get involved in the little girl's life and I'm wondering how I can get her to be more active when she's used to be driven everywhere? I don't want to go against her parents wishes but this unhealthy. Right now she whines and loses interest in the park really quickly. Like 10 minutes and she's done. She doesn't like sharing the playground with others. She doesn't have any friends outside one or two at preschool. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2vw2L02
