And so we worry about our kids being warm enough
00:26
in the winter.

But what if your child refuses to wear winter clothing?
00:34
Layer up.

00:38
to be tight, bulky, itchy, hot, and even painful.
00:43
They might like dressing in softer layers
00:45
rather than wearing one bulky thing.
00:48
For instance, layer a hoodie with a soft fleece.
00:55
Try before you buy.

Make sure to look for winter clothes together
01:02
with your child.
