Winter can be downright cold, and with the frosty air settling in for the long-haul, all you want to do is settle in for a long winter's nap. But your kids are ready to get out and play. Of course, parents need to know everything from teaching your young drivers how to handle snowy roads, to knowing when it's just too cold for your kids to venture out. So here are a few safety tips on how you and your kids can safely enjoy the winter weather. First, layer, layer, layer. Multiple layers of clothing are more effective at preventing hypothermia than one big snowsuit. And don’t forget the gloves and hats. And finally know when enough's enough. Make sure your kids know that when they start shivering, it's time to come inside and warm up. Use a temptation like hot chocolate to give them incentive to come inside.
Here’s something to mark on your calendar this week. St. John’s Choir will be performing at Northpark Mall this Wednesday, December 20th at noon. They will be set up outside Old Navy and Sears. We’ll also have food and drinks available in our Quick Lab location in the mall. So stop by and get into the holiday season. For more information, just log onto our website at stj.com.
