Why are we planning to spend September talking about seasonally appropriate clothing for young children? Yes, we live in Alaska and this is baked into everything we do, but it can be a struggle.
Early childhood educators will mention to caregivers if their child isn’t dressed warmly enough. Children lose items constantly. Seasonally appropriate clothing is essential to ensure their comfort, health, and enjoyment of outdoor activities throughout the year.
As the seasons change, so do the weather conditions. Having a variety of clothing options on hand, parents can help their little ones stay comfortable and safe while exploring the outdoors. This is also a great way to talk about weather and teach children to regulate their comfort with clothing.
