He has hated every sport I have got him to try. He is definitely over weight, despite our managing his diet. His weight is mostly a result of the lack of physical activity. He does however, love the Wii. I am curious as to whether the Wii might be a good way to introduce him to activity and maybe increase his confidence in his own abilities enough to get back out and try new sports. It may not be pure evil. I have an eight year old who despises exercise. He has hated every sport I have got him to try. He is definitely over weight, despite our managing his diet.
