(Wisconsin Radio Network) Frigid temps are here, and UW Health Child Safety Manager Rishelle Eithun says you need to make sure kids layer up and wear the right clothing if they’re outside.

According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, that includes insulated boots, mittens, and hats. Eithun says if kids are doing any sort of sledding, skiing, or skating they should be wearing a helmet.

Eithun also encourages taking breaks from playing outside so kids can warm back up and to stay hydrated. More tips can be found on the UW Health website.
