Encouraging the parents to investigate the option of ride sharing with a classmate's family would be a helpful suggestion as it would allow the child to participate in more activities outside of school. This would provide the child with opportunities to be more active and improve her overall health. The other options do not directly address the issue of promoting physical activity for the child. Option A refers to seeking help with the weight issue rather than promoting physical activity, option B focuses on monitoring food intake rather than increasing physical activity, and option D suggests an activity that does not necessarily involve physical activity.
