Cold Weather Warning Signs Parents Should Know
• Recognize early signs of frostbite in children: numbness, pale skin, or hard, waxy skin.
• Be alert for hypothermia symptoms: shivering, confusion, slurred speech, and drowsiness.
• Prevent cold weather injuries by dressing children in layers and limiting outdoor exposure.
Protecting children from cold weather dangers
As winter approaches, parents must stay vigilant about the dangers of cold weather for their children. Kids are more susceptible to cold-related illnesses because they lose heat faster than adults. Recognizing early warning signs of frostbite and hypothermia is crucial for their safety.
