Sometimes you just have to let them learn for themselves.
We tried making it to the play fountain in the center of our city before thunderstorms rolled in today. The storms were moving faster than any of the weather apps we looked at were predicting. We thought we had about an hour, but then the storms hit as we were driving there. So, instead, we went to the library for a bit. After it stopped raining for a bit and we left the library:
Madelyn: Can we go in the fountain now?
Me: It's about 20 degrees colder than before. You're going to get cold.
Madelyn: It isn't cold to me!
We let them go into the fountain for a bit. There were other kids playing as well. Then, we noticed Madelyn was shivering.
Tony: Are you cold?
Madelyn, with a stubborn look on her face: Yes, but I'm going to keep playing!
