Don\u2019t hibernate this winter! Get outside and enjoy Alaska\u2019s winter playground. <\/p>\n

We know what you\u2019re thinking\u2014it\u2019s too cold!<\/p>\n

But with a little planning your entire family can stay active and safely enjoy time together outside sledding, building a snowman, or going on a walk.<\/p>\n

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)<\/a><\/span> has some valuable tips on how to keep your children safe and warm:<\/p>\n

Dress Appropriately! <\/h3>\n

Dress infants and children warmly for outdoor activities. Several thin layers will keep them dry and warm. Always remember warm boots, gloves or mittens,
\n and a hat. <\/p>\n

The rule of thumb for older babies and young children is to dress them in one more layer of clothing than an adult would wear in the same conditions.<\/p>\n

When riding in the car, babies and children should wear thin, snug layers rather than thick, bulky coats or snowsuits. <\/p>\n

Hypothermia<\/h3>\n

Hypothermia develops when a child’s temperature falls below normal due to exposure to colder temperatures<\/a>.
\n It often happens when a child is playing outdoors in extremely cold weather without wearing proper clothing or when clothes get wet. It can occur more
\n quickly in children than in adults.<\/p>\n

As hypothermia sets in, the child may shiver and become lethargic and clumsy. Speech may become slurred and body temperature will decline in more severe
\n cases. <\/p>\n

Spring is on its way! But until then, thread <\/strong>encourages your family to enjoy our Alaskan winters by planning safe and warm activities
\n for the entire family. <\/p>\n
