Parents of toddlers/preschoolers - (weather permitting) how often do you take your kids outside and for how long?

Question

I usually take my young ones outside maybe 2-3 times a week... and usually 1.5-2 hours. I'm just curious what's considered "normal".
We have a big house with tons of toys by the way. So they love playing inside too.

Answer

My baby is almost 13 months, and weather permitting, every day even if it's just for 15-20 mins. I try to go to the park at least once a week so she can swing and stuff, but it's been too cold and wet lately and we haven't been in a few weeks. When she starts walking more confidently, it'll be every day all day 😂 she's already high energy, so when she's walking I don't know what I'll do

Answer

There is no normal. Whatever works for you and your family is what is best.

Answer

Every day. Could be 15 minutes or an hour. Most days they end up outside two separate times.

Answer

My kids are usually outside at least once a day. In the summer we'd stay out all morning until nap time. Now that it's cold, my son goes out for shortee periods

Answer

In the nicer weather months we probably average at least 3 hours day. But now it’s cold & gross & I’m pregnant, lately we’re lucky if we get that much in an entire week.

Answer

During the summer pretty much every day, usually for a couple hours at a time. Multiple times a day. 
But I live in WI, and it’s winter. If my daughter asks to go for a walk, and the wind chill is tolerable (like at least upper 20s) we’re go for a short walk, around 30 min maybe).

Answer

We go outside at least once a day year round. If it is raining or cold it may only be 15-30 min to run around the yard or stomp in puddles but everyday we are outside. On nice days we are out for almost the whole day.

Answer

Spring, Summer and fall we spend many hours a day outside, including eating meals. Winter time not as much as it can be very cold, but we aim to spend at least a few hours a day. When it’s super cold it can be less.

Answer

During the summer we're outside pretty much all day.
Now that it's winter (I live in Northern Canada so it can get very cold) when it's not too cold we'll be outside for awhile, I just bundle her up. We either go to a park near by, a walk around the neighborhood, or just play in the yard.

Answer

Everyday if it’s not horrific out. Usually a couple hours. She would live outside if I let her lol
