Playing In The Rain
I was struck recently when I noticed that a lot of parents out there are hesitant, or even afraid, to let their children play outside in the rain. I guess it depends on where you live, but where I am it rains all the time, especially during the spring and summer, and kids get antsy in a heartbeat when they’re cooped up inside all day.
That’s why, as long as it’s warm enough of course, I have no problem letting my Kayden jump around in the puddles for a while. I feel that kids should have a full appreciation for the natural world, and teaching them that rain and mud are things to be scorned is an unhealthy attitude. As long as they’re dressed right, I think its great for kids to romp around in the rain. I must admit though, that ever since I got it for her Kayden will take any excuse to put on her new Kidorable rain coat.
