Let them feel the pain of their choices.
As a kid, I had a high metabolism. I never got cold & hated dragging around a coat that I didn't need.
How about influencers do something useful with their popularity... How about we tell kids that it's cool to wear coats.
We have a 12 and 14 year old that REFUSE to wear their coats. Real life conversation this morning before school - "daughter, please put on a coat, you're wearing a thin shirt" "it's fine Mom, it has sleeves, I won't be cold"
This would be a much better use of your popularity than teaching my 12 year old daughter about new make-up trends
If I hear "it's viral" one more time.... I'm going to lose it 😂😂😂

The only time I ever force them to wear a coat is if we're going to be outside in the cold for extended periods of time. But if we're just going in and out of the car to a store or they're walking down to the bus, I don't force them to wear a coat. Forcing them to live with their consequences has not made one bit of a difference though LOL
This is the correct way!
