In addition, as we have already commented on several occasions, outdoors and mountain activities are very beneficial for the body and brain, even for development, so, traveling to the snow with children can be a perfect plan.
Just keep in mind that you're traveling with children and they're not going to have the same needs as an adult. That is why we are going to leave you here some tips that may be interesting when it comes to dealing with such trips.
7 Tips to go to the snow with children
Every child is a world and you probably know yours better than we do but this is going to help you.. In addition, we hope to be able to motivate you and take away that fear of “everything that can happen to him" in the snow.
1. Let it go outside
The environment and the weather may worry you but let it go out and play in the fresh air. Don't worry about the cold, the cold itself will not make you sick. What you need to avoid is sudden temperature changes. Try to go to places that follow a good “climate regulation", that is, to sites that do not have very high heating; since this continuous change can hurt you, but play not.
And, on the other hand, what you do have to control is not to spend much time with wet or wet clothes. We recommend that you buy clothes designed for snow (that protect from water and do not warm, thermal, etc.). And, moreover, that you check that they are not wet, since being in clothes in that state can also make them sick.
2. Make him drink water frequently
It will be found in a cold environment, but it should be moisturized just as or more than in a hot one. He thinks he will be in continuous motion, because snow is something that motivates and moves children, and even if he does not feel thirsty, he can dehydrate if he does not drink water or if he expels many minerals.
3. Dress them in layers
It is very important to keep the children's body warm, so we recommend that the views with layers. And not only do you have to put several on the body, also in the area of the hands and feet. In addition to what we have already discussed above: the outer layers should be waterproof so that moisture does not calm on the body.
And at this point, we think it is relevant to comment that you should be careful with long garments as scarves can be. They can pose a danger: get hooked somewhere and create a problem for them, for example. If you are interested in having their neck protected it is best to buy a panty.
4. Laundry or drying services nearby
It's not essential but can play an important role in your trip to the snow with children.
As we mentioned earlier, you should wear sufficient spare clothing: especially socks, gloves and hats (which are the three most exposed garments will be). But beyond this, ideally make sure to remove the wet clothes and let them dry to keep them ready the next day. That's why if you choose a hotel or apartment that I have a laundry service, you can use the dryer to always have the clothes you need ready.
5. Carry creams
Very rarely is there talk about how important it is to protect the skin in a cold and snowy environment.
Moisturizers are vital because cold dries the skin very much and can cause itching and even cracking problems. And, on the other hand, sun protection is also essential. Reflection of the sun in the snow is one of the most common causes of burns on trips to the snow, so do not forget about good sun protection.
6. How to treat possible skin problems
It won't be difficult for certain parts of your body to get red from the cold. May occur on your feet, hands, or face. If that happens to him, and he feels discomfort, you should warm up his skin little by little. Heat towels with warm water and leave them for about 10 minutes on your skin; this way the area will warm up and will not feel a very intense contrast.
What you should never do is directly wash those areas with hot water since the temperature contrast is higher when the skin is in that situation and you will feel the heat much more, intensely.
7. Beware of hot drinks
You're going to places where you're probably going to be served with this kind of drinks, and that means that your little one will burn, or the liquid will spill on it, is greater.. For that reason, try to control more, during those days, what you drink or what does not and try to wait for it to cool down to give it to it.
That said, we hope that with these tips you enjoy a lot more of a trip to the snow with children and lose certain fears. It is very important that you take care of things like the ones described above, but it is also important that you let him find out what snow is, what it can cause in it or it, and ultimately let him research and find out. It will help you in its development.
