One More Question...

I love to take the children outside, but I do spend less time outside when the children don't bring the proper attire. I believe it is part of my job to make sure the children are safe, and that means not exposing them to the cold for too long if the parents haven't equipped them. That said, I do mention to the parents that we had to cut short outdoor time because their child didn't have the right gear, and in each case, the right gear showed up the very next day. If I forgot to bring the outdoor stuff for my child, I would be furious if my child were made to suffer for my irresponsibility.
