My wife was a kindergarten teacher for 20+ years and kids that age don't have good temperature sensors.... once they get to playing they warm their little bodies up and off comes the coat.... and they really don't sense the cold. And often kids that age go back into the house and leave the coat wherever they tossed it when they got a bit warm.... Your situation would depend on what she is doing and the temperature which I haven't seen in the thread. As a final thought at her age, she should be able to zip her own coat if she gets cold..... It might help if we had some idea of where you are and the weather this time of year. Edited September 10, 2018 by other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go get my "catalog" bride from Texas though . She is my sweet Texas peach- Tries to sell me that Texas is cooler than here. I ask, do you want to return? She quickly says No! Way too hot there. we do shop online for a cool place but this time of year, hey we haven't found one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its certainly not that temperature, it is cold enough to need the jacket zipped, especially with the rain we get here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she's complaining to others that she would like you to not do that then you need to talk with her and find out why. Question, do the other kids wear jackets and are they zipped up or not? I'm struggling to understand what the others are having a problem with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neighbor Posted September 10, 2018 Group: Worthy Ministers Followers: 18 Topic Count: 953 Topics Per Day: 0.35 Content Count: 13,589 Content Per Day: 5.03 Reputation: 9,057 Days Won: 6 Joined: 12/04/2016 Status: Offline Birthday: 03/03/1885 Share Posted September 10, 2018 One of the funny things from the movie Christmas Story ( 1983) is Ralphie's little brother Randy being all bundled up and zipped up by his mother to the point he can't even bring his arms down to his sides. He falls in the snow and can't flex enough to get back up so he just cries for help at his plight laying in the snow. I think most everyone can relate to that kind of thing happening to them when they were young and some well meaning person or family darn near cooked 'em by forcing on way too much clothing to be comfortable in. I used to feel terribly claustrophobic when zipped up in any attire. Couldn't stand it!!! Never ever buttoned or zipped anything but my pants; wore a white T with sleeves rolled and an open leather jacket and engineer boots all through New England snows with 30 mph winds and frozen sleet hitting in 19 degree weather. Felt nice and warm because I was active. If I bundled up I would get stuffy wet, couldn't breathe and then would get really cold from the moisture freezing on me inside my "swaddling" wrap. Much better to breath and have loose fitting attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
