Facts
• While freezing winter temperatures keep many adults indoors, children may want to play outside all day. Set reasonable time limits on outdoor play. Occasionally call children in to warm up. Provide warm drinks such as hot chocolate.
• Each year, emergency rooms in the United States treat nearly 15,000 children for injuries related to sledding, and thousands more for injuries related to ice skating.
