My daughter is 9 years old and doesn't know how to move gracefully at all – all her movements are too jerky, and she's also very shy. Where should I enroll her? Gymnastics, or maybe oriental dance? She doesn't want to do anything herself because she's embarrassed, but I'm telling her to at least do some kind of physical activity. I understand that this could lead to major complexes in the future. Has anyone had a similar experience?
Are the knobs getting really hot — not melting? Mine are getting very hot too, and I'm afraid they m…

"What about sports? For example, girls will definitely find skills like wrestling useful."

There are so many activities available now. My kids find their own classes, I just sign them up and pay. My youngest is very active; she used to do cheerleading, quit, and then joined soccer. My oldest hates dancing and sports, but she attends a theater club and a sewing class. She used to do woodworking, which she really enjoyed. I don't think dancing is essential for a child. If you're concerned that your child doesn't move very gracefully, I can assure you that many kids at this age are clumsy – it's just a transitional phase.

Not everyone is cut out for dancing, it's just not her thing. There are tons of sports clubs, it doesn't have to be dancing. I can't dance at all, but I don't have any complexes about it.

Didn't you notice this before? I immediately noticed such problems with my older daughter. At 3 years old, everyone plays, but she was shy and sat next to me. She went to kindergarten and it was the same, she even refused to participate in activities because she was shy. When she turned 5, I had the opportunity to enroll her in dance classes at kindergarten. She didn't want to, she had tantrums, but I knew it was for her own good. She's 10 now and still goes to dance, but now at school. Sometimes before performances she trembles and gets scared, but a few words of encouragement that she can do it, and she goes to perform.
I think that by now, a person has already formed, and overcoming shyness will be very difficult. If you have some kind of modeling agency, that's the only option to enroll her there. They will teach her everything she might need to get rid of future complexes.

My daughter went to dance classes for 4 years, then absolutely refused. She tried aerial gymnastics, but had to quit everything due to health reasons. Now she doesn't want to do anything at all anymore, and she has no complexes about it whatsoever. But generally, she's just a homebody, quite shy too; I don't know what the future holds. I never force her anywhere—if she doesn't want to, that's fine.

Maybe she just doesn't feel the rhythm, and that's okay. Don't make her feel self-conscious. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to.
