How can I get my daughter to take her PE kit to school? She doesn't like PE, and 'forgets' it in order to attempt to get out of having to do it.
Hahahaha! I bet you got laughed at wearing a PE skirt with your pants on underneath! I remember having to do PE in bra and knickers when I forgot my PE kit when I was younger, but I'm surprised my daughter had to do it in this day and ageBlimey, thought all that had long gone! The worse either of mine endured was having to use stinky old kit from the lost property box. I remember our school's punishment was to wear kit that was about 30 years old - and not necessarily the correct gender! One rugby lesson in an airtex top and a flappy split skirt was normally enough to prevent repeat offences...
So often this is a body image / shaming issue. Fortunately the days of compulsory showers and in most cases, bullying PE teachers is long gone, but kids can be awful to each other.
Lots of kids didn't enjoy PE before home computers, Mobile phones and Tablets were even invented
Fair pointBut we're talking about a post millennium child, rather than a child from their parent's generation, so their reasons for not liking PE would most likely involve some aspects of modern life.
10 years ago I'd have said that they were used to sitting in front of the TV. 10 years before that I was a child, and life was perfect
Ditto - ten years old and watching a 12" black and white TV. Still remember it.When I was a child I watched the first landing on the moon on a TV.
