If your family lives in a temperate climate, you experience four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn ? and Cold. Let?s face it: as parents we spend the entire winter wishing our kids could learn how to multiply as fast as sneezes, coughs and high fevers do. Whether you bundle them up tight for playing in the snow or keep them ?safe and dry? indoors, chances are there?s a box of tissues and a trip to the doctor waiting just around the corner.
Now, while your kids? winter colds may seem inevitable, good communication and a talent for code cracking can help you keep colds in check. Keep in mind that younger children sometimes communicate more through emotion and body language than through mere words.
If your children lose interest in favorite toys or seems lethargic, clingy or cranky, it may be a sign your child does nor feel well. How do you read your kids? non-verbal codes for ?I feel great? or ?I feel yucky?? What are the clues it?s time to break out the thermometer and maybe even the Children?s Motrin?
Are there special codes you?ve learned to decipher when they?ve come back excited from a day of sledding, and won?t mention they?re not feeling well for fear you won?t let them head back out with their friends? Share your ?cold codes? now!
