Pediatrician House Calls: How Long Should Children Play Outside In Winter?

What about school recess during the winter?

Schools are generally good about keeping kids inside on days when frostbite is a risk. But if ever there is a question about how cold it might be when your child goes out for recess, be prepared by sending your child to school dressed appropriately. Warm boots, hats, gloves and layers are all necessary on cold winter days.
