Why should young children be dressed warmer than adults?

There are several reasons. The first reason is that children have weaker immunity than adults. It is much easier for a child to catch a cold than an adult. The second reason is that young children cannot tell whether they are cold or hot. If an adult, when he is cold, simply dresses warmer, then the child cannot. Even if he is cold, he will not always cry or give any signals. But it is also not necessary to dress the child very warmly, so that he is not hot and he does not catch a cold if he sweats.
