Like the song says, “Baby, it’s cold outside.” To keep your children warm, just remember the acronym, “C-O-L-D.”
Cover Exposed Areas To Preserve Heat
- Ensure all exposed areas are covered.
- Children should have mittens or gloves as well as a scarf.
- Hats should cover both the top of the head and the ears.
Avoid Overexertion
- Playing while bundled up takes a lot of energy.
- Playing in snow takes even more effort.
- Have your kids come in every so often for a break.
Layer
Layer your children in lightweight, water repellent, and loose-fitting clothing.
Dry
Stay dry. Okay, this is relative. Kids and snow are a natural combination.
- Once, inside have them immediately change into dry clothes, socks, and shoes.
- Snow isn’t the only concern.
- Your child should change into dry clothes if he has been heavily sweating.
