Question re a childs perception of climate and temperature
|
|
Mrs KH is African and we have a five year old daughter. Here the climate is very warm usually 30 degrees or so and in cold season drops to 15 degrees or so. In the cold season locals complain bitterly about the cold. For me it is never cold I wear t shirts and shorts daily.
When Mrs KH puts sweaters etc on our daughter [who was born here} in the "cold season" she whips them off asap complaining she is too hot. Do children get their perception of whats hot and cold climate wise from one parent or the other or from the ancestors genes even or does it depend on where the child is born, that detremines what she sees as warm or chilly? And it is not a case of "Oh Daddy is only wearing a t shirt and shorts,why cant I, she is genuinely too hot.

Zoltan would have a house model.
And under a different username might be up to his usual bullshitting tricks, trying to give the impression he is a pro-Eu music and tech mogal. Maybe.

Slightly different answers but I tend to wear shorts at work unless really cold , my sister is always complaining she is cold unless it is in the 90s. Rare to be that hot in uk.

Probably what people get used to, is my guess.
How they get used to it is another question.
Your daughter's probably got "cold"-tolerant (or, in my terms, "pleasantly warm"-tolerant) relative to her Mum by emulating you and not overdressing..
Did Mrs KH's Mum make her wrap up warm when she was a kid?

Cheers Infidel for that, made me laugh . In truth the purpose of this post was to {a} solve a domestic arguement and {b} see if those in the know could answer my question from a medical/scientific viewpoint as in do children inherit from one parent or the other there perspective of climate.
One all, funnily enough we find it more efficient here for the housegirl to get the water from the taps, no seasonal risks here like the pipes freezing up, bit on the warm side for a run mate but Ill have a dip in the pool before the footie starts.

There's no such thing as bad weather. Just bad clothing.

The correct answer to the question:
"Do children get their perception of whats hot and cold climate wise from one parent or the other or from the ancestors genes?"
Is: "why would anyone care?"
Whilst gazing lovingly at your offspring please feel free to resist the temptation to take to social media or message boards and share your joy with the rest of us.
Children are not remotely interesting other than to their own parents, an even then not always.

HR Yes when it rains here it chucks it down no drizzle here, you have probably twenty seconds before the point of no return which is deciding whether to shelter or just get so totally wet that it does not matter

When it rains, do Kenyans/Indians/Kenyan-Indians get wetter than Europeans?
