Arab Weather - Researchers suggest that as the house and car are prepared for the winter, so should the same thing be done for the children. As children are more susceptible than adults to injuries associated with cold weather and winter.
Researchers suggest a set of tips to keep children comfortable and safe when outside in cold weather:
- The child wears many layers so that if one layer is wet, the child can remove it and keep the moisture away from his body.
Use woolen clothes instead of cotton clothes that isolate the body from moisture.
Wearing warm shoes and gloves is necessary because the limbs are more susceptible to frost, in addition to making sure to cover the ears and nose and wearing a hat to prevent significant heat loss from the head.
- Parents should return their children inside from time to time and change wet clothes immediately.
Children are also at risk when traveling in cars during the winter if not equipped for this.
In cold weather, parents should take extra care to maintain the safety of children when moving in cars, even for short distances, by not leaving children in the car unattended, and to keep the winter kit in the car with extra covers, socks, gloves, snacks and a first aid kit in the event of the car breakdown or Any other emergency event occurs.
