❄️ Winter weather has arrived.

Myth: Cold weather makes kids sick.
Fact: Colds are caused by viruses—not chilly air!

Outdoor play, even in cooler temperatures, boosts children’s physical health, mood, and immune function. Fresh air and movement are good for everyone!

Bundle up—hats, coats, and gloves—and let children explore and learn safely outdoors.

Stay active, stay dry, and watch the wind chill.

Reduce or limit outdoor time and watch for:
• Red, numb, or pale skin
• Ongoing shivering
• Slowed movements or clumsiness
• Complaints of “hurting” or “stinging” hands or feet

How do you keep children active and engaged outside during cold weather?

Rolling into Friday with the brightest smile! 😄💫
This little one accomplished his very first solo roll at school this week! 👏
