Does Your Child Dislike Rain?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Enid, OK

My daughter has to have her umbrella and asks if it’s going to rain every morning before school. We live in Oklahoma and she has her own tornado kit with all the things she needs to have in case of a tornado.
Are your kids weather aware?

My almost 5 years old son absolutely loves the rain, and he dances in it, wellies on jump, jump, jump, jumping in all the puddles.

My son used to like going out even in the rain but now he understands better to stay home. Not sure if gotten less strong or just mind now telling him he should not go out in rain. But scared of lighting and thunder.

I gave Care Home Calendar and weather chart to fix which he uses and plus he had lots of support understanding weather at school

My son will go out in any kind of weather. But I don't think he understands in some weather that it could be bad to go out in.

Yes, my son was the opposite. He liked the rain, and hated sunny days especially when he was younger in preschool. It sounds like your daughter wants to be prepared.

At school, my son’s class talks about the calendar and weather, and even the appropriate clothes to wear based on the weather. Maybe you can check the weather apps, a video on YouTube, or watch the news before she leaves for school.

I hope this helps.
