What is a good way to encourage an 11 year old girl she needs to lose a little weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Incentives: Identify something she really wants and let her earn her way to receiving it by losing pounds. It is very important that you don't overemphasize the weight issue as it can easily swing into a food eating disorder like anorexia and bulimia. Make it a game and fun. Don't force the issue as it will backfire. Teen age girls are very insecure and you should not add to it.
