TS3 - Anyone see a child skill building hack?

Have you found any way to change a kid's bodyshape at all? I adopted a fat kid and no amount of working out to the tv set, tag, or swimming did anything to his body shape. I also have a fit sim who can train adults but he didn't have the option for the kid. I guess they are just set at whatever shape they are until adulthood, or so it seems.
Again, I can understand a ban on strength training because of developing muscles and so on, but cardio should effect body skill and body type even for children. There is definitely a difference between children who run around and children who sit and eat all day, and kids certainly have different levels of endurance, so it makes since for cardio to have an effect. Thinking about more, though, even the developing muscle argument is fairly weak - after all, how old do gymnasts start? They certainly aren't 12's beforehand, as some of the professionals are as young as 14, and it takes more than 2 years to learn.
The block table builds handiness? And I overlooked this (or is it simply not marked as such)??
Roflganger:
There are a few things that aren't marked as skill building, such as almost all of the children's books. Off the top of my head, kids can develop writing, logic, and art skills by reading the toddler books, but you don't really discover it until they start skill building as children or higher. For example, when a child that read the appropriate (or appropriate number of?) books as a toddler merely clicks on a computer, their writing skill jumps to level 3 or 4 instantaneously, with a message that it's a result of their toddler reading habits. Logic goes to level 4 instead of the level 3 that can be reached through the peg box. All the books in the Children section of the bookstore with the exception of the Jimmy Sprocket books appear to carry some sort of skill building benefit.

...isn't the entire point of strength training *TO* develop muscles, so that you will be an effective warrior and not a flabby weakling? Mostly, the issue is that kids simply lack equipment and animations to use the equipment. It's not based on anything with real-world sense. It's purely a technical limitation.
Budcot:
There's a strength training workout on the televisions, it requires no equipment so surely they could have given those animations to the children?
Zouflain:
They have a workout animation for the T.V., but for some odd reason EAxis decided that though children can work out, they can't benefit in any way from it...
