I am very worried about my daughter (11.) I struggled with my weight and making healthy choices most of my life and she is following in dads footsteps. I think I have her attention. She has seen how I absolutely transform myself the last 18 months and recently asked to join soccer, cross country, and is asking to go to the gym with me. She is pretty overweight but I think she is moving in the right direction. You are right, you can only push them so much before they resent you or worse, you give them a complex by trying to help and push them.
That's great. She looks up to you as every daughter should look up to their dads. I don't know how the kids at schools are now, but in my day they were clicky and ganged up on anyone they think they could get away with. I know there's been a whole anti-bullying campaign a few years back, but I'd keep her away from team sports that their main goal is to win the division. Kids and their parents can be brutal. You need to stay out of jail and not beat on someone's father.
