Question by Ashley M: How should I convince my little sister into doing cheerleading or dance?
She’s 9 years old and she doesn’t really do anything active. All she does all day is play with her toys, watch TV, and go on the computer. The only active thing she does is go outside and swing on a swing with the other little kids and boss them around.

Swinging is actually very good for stress. = ) And it sounds like she’s a leader, bossing the other kids around. Maybe you can start her on cheer, do it with her, teach the other kids too, and have her be the captain and she can boss them around in a more useful way. Then once she sees she likes it, she may want to take a class or participate on a team. The key is you asking her to do it with you. Keep asking until she says yes, bribe her if you need to.
That’s nice that you care so much about your sister!
Good luck!
