Constantly wants to be outside!?

Question

My son wants to be outdoors 24/7 and it drives me nuts. I don’t mind outdoor time but now that it’s getting really cold and he refuses to wear hats and gloves... he can’t be outside forever. He’s also getting really annoyed by walks in the stroller even when I only walk a short mile. 
Advice?

Answer

We taught my son to go get his shoes when he wants to go outside. As it gets cooler we'll start adding the sweater to the routine so he comes to expect it. I'm sure he'll fight it a bit in the beginning but he'll learn. I'm just worried about how he'll be when there is snow and ice

Answer

Omg my back door is open from the moment my son gets up to the moment he goes to bed I wudnt dare shut it he has a total melt down I just let him run in n out all day I no when he getting cold cuz he actually comes in warms up then off he goes again on his slide n bike n stuff

Answer

My daughter has a meltdown when I bring her home from school and wont let her stay outside (usually dinner is close inside). Today she fell on the ground twice between the car and the front door. 
Our routine when we get home is unload from the car... check the mail... then wall inside...
But no... she wants to roam the neighborhood or swing or play. I cant be outside long bc my yard is COVERED with mosquitoes and I get eaten alive.

Answer

My son is obsessed with being outside! This summer has been soooo hard because we live in the Phoenix area and it is oppressively hot from June to October. The mornings and evenings have cooled off enough that we can go for walks then but it’s still over 100 everyday. I’m dying for it to cool off so we can go outside. We’ve mostly spent the summer with the blinds closed so that he can’t see outside 😂. Not sure that’s the best advice but distraction seems to be the only thing that worked for us.

Answer

Yes he goes and gets his shoes then wines for me to put them on.  If I don't he gets so upset.  We use to be able to sit on the deck now his new thing is he has to be in the driveway so he can play with his car.

Answer

Yep, mine too. We live in Florida, so if anything it gets too hot, but she doesn’t seem to mind the heat. On days she’s not in daycare I try to let her play outside at least twice a day (before and after naptime) for at least half an hour each time. 
We mess up a lot of clothes and get pretty dirty and/or wet, but it’s totally worth it! I’m so grateful to live in a house with a yard.

Answer

Mine too!!

Answer

Ugh mine too. And I live in an apt complex, so the outside there’s nothing to do- I have to lug balls/ chalk/ etc down stairs . We have a short walk to the park but stroller is needed and it’s a huge hill, which I’m lazy so it sucks.  Now that we are getting chilly weather - which I love- I know the colder it gets the less time we will be able to be outside- and my girl goes nuts . She loves playing outside!
