Just let the kid play in the rain, sheesh. You can’t get sick from being wet. This is an example of how parents fail; there’s no rational reason he shouldn’t play in the rain, but she doesn’t want to deal with wet clothes so she says no. Then he will be stir crazy and create mayhem inside and she will end up screaming at him, angry with him for a problem she created. It’s unfair.
In parenting, the right answer is almost always yes; as long as the child won’t harm himself or others, there’s no reason for him not to do what he wants to do.
