Me and my 8yr old daughter (born in Canada) are living in Scotland where weather is very unpleasant, today we had heavy rain/hailstones and high gusts of wind with low temperatures of 2C.

So, with weather that bad and temperature that low, Rebecca had to bundle up but she didn't want her hood up because "it makes her hair all spikey" or her school jacket fastened up but because weather was so poor, I put a hat on her and fastened zip of her school jacket right up to the top which wasn't easy because she kept wriggling and fidgeting about but I did get it fastened and explained why.

At School she isn't allowed outside to play or for recess until she fastens the jacket, that rule is in place because teachers don't want kids coming into classroom complaining of the cold or with soaking wet uniforms due to not having common sense to fasten their jackets up.
