[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Send kid" OP, your words matter. Instead of how you view parenting, in other families, the kid is deciding. Or forgetting. Or is expected to take a coat and doesn't, because they don't want to. The kid may be getting-out-the-door on their own, more independently. Maybe all on their own, parent not home when the kid leaves for school. Greater independence may have a more significant positive result vs the poor decision re: a coat[/quote] This. I will remind kids of the temperatures if it is much colder than it has been, but this is the most perfect example of natural consequences. My kids haven't worn coats to school since late ES.
