[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get proper clothes. Merino wool, real shearling, and silk baselayers are your friend. Then if you’re still cold one of the rechargeable heated vests. Children need to play outside every day unless the weather makes that actually dangerous (sleet, rain heavy enough to make equipment slippery). If you truly can’t or won’t provide that, pay someone to do it.[/quote] Did you go to the park every day when you were a kid? I truly can’t believe the amount of pressure parents put on themselves today. Many Parents have other things to do in a day and don’t have hours to spend at a playground. It’s truly unbelievable. I take my kid to a park sometimes. Sometimes I don’t. And I feel zero guilt. [/quote] Not the park, my parents lived on large property and yes I was outside every day. In snow we sledded. In light rain we played in mud puddles. Sometimes supervised by a parent sometimes a babysitter but no one in my family bought this modern delicacy where 45 degrees means indoor play.[/quote]
