Subject: Why children don't get cold easily

https://youtu.be/zpcI_g_zrpk

I found a video about how brown fat cells, not just muscles, can generate warmth. Young children have a lot of those, which explains why many kids happily go barefoot in shorts and short sleeves in cool weather while their parents shiver.

Seems like it can be trained to some extent by cold exposure.

Sadly a lot of parents seem to say "Put on shoes, I'm cold" without realizing that their children might experience the same temperature quite differently.
