Now it has not snowed in Spain for days, but start thinking for a moment on one of those days when it snowed, with abundant snow outside and with the possibility of going outside to hang out.
Think that you are thinking about your child's health, assessing what could be better, whether to leave or not to leave. Surely most of you will be thinking that if it is very cold outside, if there is snow, you will always be better at home.
Well, some parents of a four-year-old boy had to think the opposite when forced his son to go outside, practically naked, with all the snow that had accumulated, simply with the intention of improving your health, as you see in the video.
The child was born premature and since that time his parents have done everything possible to strengthen their body, improve their defenses and, in general, ensure a good state of health. Apparently, within the measures chosen for such a noble mission comes the one that says that putting an extreme cold is good for the defenses (and if you also do a little ridiculous, maybe even better ...).
All this happened in New York, where the parents of this Chinese child recorded him, even though the boy gave clear signs of not having a good time. Once recorded they posted the video on Youku, which would be something like Youtube but in China. There the criticisms of their countrymen soon arrived, and that in China there are parents and educators who use quite debatable methods.
On the issue of cold and defenses, what is usually said is that children get sick more in winter because the cold decreases the defenses, so the equation turns upside down. In any case, even if it were true, it seems to me a rather horrible method and, to me, a sign that the end cannot always justify the means.
