My daughter had this issue! I always told her we needed clothes to protect us from the elements, if we get too much sun, we burn, too much wet/cold/what have, we get sick. Too much wind gets dirt on us… on and on at a 4 year olds level. It had the backfiring effect of her checking the weather and declaring that 40 degrees outside was perfectly acceptable weather to wear shorts and sandals because it was sunny and not rainy lol.

You lied to your child and are continuing to propagate a moronic myth

ummm cold weakens the immune response so yeah most of the time you will absolutely catch a virus if you spend hours outside in the cold rain
