Do you let your kids play in the rain?

My son loves to play in the rain. Much like I did when I was a kid. If it's warm and the rain isn't cold I let him play all he wants. I've noticed that if it starts getting cold he comes in on his own. I can't deny him something that I enjoyed so much when I was a kid, you know?

Hi, well yes at times i do allow them to play, but not too often as that leads them have a wee bit of a runny nose and cold and then they land up with fever and missing out on school, but yes we used to love the rain bath, so even the kids enjoy that, so i dont stop them, but for a few times. Incase they are having exams and something important, the rain bath is totally a no no for them, and they understand that and just prefer to wet their arms and legs in the rain then.

YES, as long as its warm rain I let my 18 month old play outside in the rain all he wants, if its cold we just stand at the door and watch but I could never deny him the fun of playing in the rain.

MY girls love to play in the rain as well. Sometimes I will tell them to put there bathingsuits on and I will get a couple towels ready and tell them to go play in the rain and they are so happy. I love watching them dance in the rain it is too cute.

My son just one year old but when he's old enough and want to play in the rain i think i won't deny him the joy of playing in the rain. I too have experienced that just like you and I also want to share that experience with him by letting him play in the rain.

since on the rare occasions that we do get rain, its always warm outside i let my 12yrd play in all she wants. which usually means playing tag with the dogs thru the back yard. Unless it is an electrical storm..then i dont allow it. we have a pretty big tree in the back yard. its never been hit by lightning before, but it is big enough to attract it at the perfect time..know what i mean? lol

I let my kids play if it is just rain and no lightning...lol... There is an area here that turns into a huge puddle, almost like a pond, so he likes to play over there.

Playing in the rain is great fun for boys and girls alike.After having a playful time,it is needed that they take a bath in natural water which prevent catching a cold .

I do the same thing when I was a kid... I love the rain and doesn't matter how lond does it take me there... i would stay forever ... hehehe... But that was in my country. My country is full of forest and the rain comes out clean, however over here is not like what I expect. So, I might not let my child play in the rain that long cuz it might cause him sick. It is up to you but just keep your eyes on him after everytimes he play in the rain. Just want to stop by and give some advice :)
