What should the room temperature be for children?

The ideal room temperature for children depends on their age and individual preferences. Generally, the recommended room temperature for infants is between 68°F and 72°F (20°C and 22°C). For toddlers and older children, a room temperature between 65°F and 75°F (18°C and 24°C) is usually comfortable. However, it's important to monitor your child's comfort level and adjust the thermostat as needed. Here are some additional tips:

- Dress your child in layers so they can adjust their clothing as needed.

- Keep the humidity level in your child's room between 30% and 50%.

- Use a fan or air conditioner to circulate the air and prevent stuffiness.

- Avoid placing your child's bed near drafts or windows.

- Check your child regularly to make sure they are comfortable and not too hot or cold.
