[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is stupid. I would tell my 4 year old that we are going outside for 1 hour. After that we can come inside and watch a movie with hot chocolate. Going outside is not optional. He can stand next to you and do nothing or play. Either one is fine. If he doesn’t cooperate with putting on snow pants or if cries the whole time, he doesn’t get hot chocolate and movie when you go back inside. 4 is old enough to understand. I don’t get what you mean when you say he’s too big to force to go out. At this age you should not be relying on physical strength—you use your parent voice: “we are going outside today after lunch” and do it. [/quote] +1 This is the compromise. What if he was in preschool and there was outdoor play? They would make him go outside.[/quote]
