It is cold in Tennessee! Make sure your little ones are dressed in warm layers before heading out. A good rule of thumb — one more layer than you’re wearing!

Cold air can trigger coughs and make sniffles linger longer, so keep hats, gloves, and scarves handy for every outing.

❄️ Tip: Don’t forget to change out of wet clothes right away after outdoor play!
