Hi all
My both kids born in Canada and never lived in India during summer time. Can anybody share his/her experience how the Indian weather (specially during extreme summers) affects Canada born kids? In case we want to move back, how would our kids adjust with the diffrent weather?
Any inputs/advise is appreciated. Thank you.

Everyone usually gets acclimatized after about couple of weeks. So, young kids tend to be quite resilient and hence ok with the change. Mosquitoes might be another issue.

Well, ensure your kids have light clothing. Most clothing from here are thick even if they look thin and kids tend to get hot inside them. Also, for the 1 yr old wearing diapers, either let them loose without any (not my preference as we then would "discover" puddles on the floor... 
) or take diaper rash creams.
My son is allergic to mosquito bites and simply swells up like a blimp for few days. So, you might want to watch out for that. My wife's aunt who is a doc loaded my son up with antibiotic shots (again, not my preference) and other medicated creams (they seem ok) to help with the swelling. I don't know what the solution is but mosquito nets during night and the famous battery operated "tennis racket" mosquito swapper might help.
If all else fails, just come back to canada Seriously, I wouldn't worry too much about heat. It's just part of life if you decide to live there.
