本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Recently several parents in our group are interested at
snow-playing, but worry that the weather may be too tough for their
little kids. Here is my experience.
In my opinion, short exposure to the cold will not be seriously detrimental to our children's health. My children play snow since they are
very small.
I remember that I rebuilt a bench and used it as a tobbogan about 15
years ago after a rare snow-storm in my ex-hometown (Changsha). At
that time my first son was about two years old. He was so excited
when he rided on "tobbogan". I pulled him and walked on
the street. Quite a lot of people were surprised by my son's laughing and my home-made "tobbogan" (no tobbogan was available in the store at that time). More than once I heard something like "Wow,
it's a good idea to amuse child!".
After we moved to Canada, we are no longer lack of snow. Very often
I let my second little son sit on the tobbogan and walk him around
my home. Althoug I may look like a "grey hound", I am glad to do it as my child likes it. Sometimes we go to Sunnybrook because there
is a good slope to slide the tobbogan.
I also bring my second little boy with my family when we go to ski
since he was about one year old. At the very beginning, I simply let him
sit on snow and play in the way he likes. Since he was 3 years old,
I paid the ski school in the ski resort (very short time, but cheap,
something like $20/course). He likes it especially when he plays
together with his elder brother.
I usually let my little boy stay outside for less than 30 min (the younger, the shorter). Then
I will bring him back to home or to my car. I will change his socks
and wet shirt, let him eat and drink something and play a while
inside. A car is a very good temporary shelter for children in
winter. When he warms up, I will bring him outside again.
Safety is always #1 priority. As long as we take all of means to
protect our children, they could enjoy playing snow very much.
Please generously share your experience with our parents. Cold may not be a problem. Let's go outside and spend a wonderful winter together with our kids.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
