[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Everyone needs to get outside every day. PP didn’t say to a park, just getting outside. Go for a walk. [/quote]

+1. It doesn’t have to be to stand around at a playground but everyone (kids and adults!) should go outside daily, if just for a walk!

Also we don’t live in Maine. There are very very few days in this area where it would be dangerous to go out. [/quote]

But that's not what the thread is about. Sure, prioritize a little time outside every day. Yesterday was cold so we walked to a restaurant near our house so we could spend some time outside. We didn't spend hours at a playground because I'm not a masochist and it was TOO COLD. Yes, even in DC.

Sometimes it's too cold for the playground and you do other stuff.[/quote]
