[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 621680, member: 3493"] difficult child was well known for his refusal to wear a coat or warm clothing during his school years. In 1st grade, after the school threatened to call CPS, I left a coat in school for him to wear if he chose to go out to recess. Usually, he stayed indoors and played chess so it wasn't an issue. In HS, people used to tell me they saw difficult child around, HOW does he manage to get by in shorts all winter? Ironically, he initially refused to attend the school he is at, in the North Country, because even he realized he'd have to wear long pants and a coat there and he wasn't sure he wanted to do it. Babyboy went to his scout meeting tonight in gym shorts, sneakers and a leather trench coat left open and flying in the wind. It was about 20 F. When daughter was a little girl, she only wanted to wear frilly sundresses year round. I let her as long as she agreed to a turtleneck and tights underneath it. Part of the reason for this is that schools are kept so overheated that the kids die. They aren't outside that much. In weather this cold, we drop them a minute's walk from the building and they don't do gym outdoors if it's below 32. H is the same way and he refers to this trait as "thermal indifference." [/QUOTE]
