Winter Tips for Kids

Keeping Children Safe in Cold Weather 1. Think layers. Put several layers of clothing on your child and make sure their head, neck and hands are covered. Dress babies and young children in one more layer than an adult would wear. 2. Beware clothing hazards. Scarves and hood strings can strangle smaller children so use other clothing to keep them warm. 3. Check in on warmth. Tell children to come inside if they get wet or if they’re cold. Then keep watching them and checking in. They may prefer to continue playing outside even if they are wet or cold. 4. Use sunscreen. Children and adults can still get sunburn in the winter. Sun can reflect off the snow, so apply sunscreen. 5. Install alarms. More household fires happen during the winter so make sure you have smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home. 6. Get equipped. Children should always wear helmets when snowboarding, skiing, sledding or playing ice hockey. Any sports equipment should be professionally fitted.
