My son does! He won't wear anything but this stupid white sweatjacket no matter how cold it gets!!!! I don't understand it! He's got to be freezing but he will not wear a winter coat! I've even offered to take him shopping and let HIM pick out one he likes,and still he won't do it. He says he's wearing his white sweatjacket and that's all he wants! (He's 15 by the way) Are your teens like this? ↓

Neither of my boys would EVER wear a coat unless they had a match/game and coach told them they had to wear their varsity jackets. I figured whatever, the worst that would happen is they would get cold. I learned early on to pick my battles. ↑

Pick your battles. I live in MN and always give a friendly and non-threatening reminder to wear a coat or gloves. If they don't - that's their choice. Let it go.

Some things that may make you feel better is to stuff a small pair of gloves and/or thin hat in their backpack so that something is there if they start to freeze. Rember the definition of a sweater is something you put on when your mother is cold! ↑
