[quote=Anonymous]Because they don't want to argue with their kids about it. My 9 year old does not want to wear a coat. I'm not fighting him. A few minutes of being too cold is a MUCH better way to convince him than for me to get into a battle of wills with him about it. He runs constantly at recess so he is not cold then, even without his coat. On Monday, when it was very cold, I convinced him to take his coat in his backpack on the off chance there was an unexpected drill or similar and he'd need his coat. But those times are really rare. I'd much prefer he did wear a coat! But I spent time forcing him through tears and upset when he was 4 and 5 and 6. Once he hit 2nd grade I told him the choice is his. I'll make sure he HAS a coat that fits and that he "likes" but the actual wearing it? That's up to him.[/quote]
