Me and my 8yr old daughter Roxanne are currently living in Scotland at the moment and weather during winter has been torrid, only a month or two ago we had winds as high as 80+ miles an hour and lots of snow.

It was so bad that Roxy needed to bundle up to walk to School, however, she always answered back when I asked her to zip her school jacket up. After a few minutes, I would give up and just zip the jacket myself but she kept fidgeting and wriggling about so I would firmly say to her "its very windy and snowy outside, you need your jacket zipped or else it'll blow off, I know you like it open but you can't during winter".

It was just too blustery to let her learn from natural consequences but she still tested me to see if I'd let her leave it open, which I never did.

It is only zipping her jacket that she fights me on, she quite happily puts on her gloves, scarf and hat or puts up hood.

Am I a bad parent for that or did I do right thing?

(PS: I was going to get her a nice/thick winter 3 in 1 jacket but she loves her school trespass jacket (it was supplied by school as part of uniform and has school logo on it) offered much that she uses it for daily life use too).
