Many risk factors and protective factors operate in the lives of young children. These risk and protective factors are in the environment, in the family, and in the child. The key message in this song is that while there may be many multiple risk factors in the environment and the family, there are strong protective factors inside the child. Children understand weather and changes in weather. It is useful metaphor for reinforcing the internal positivity we want the child to experience.

The Weather Inside Is Fine (2:39)

Verse
Sometimes the sun is hot
Sometimes it rains a lot
The weather's gonna change (x2)

Sometimes there's a tropical breeze
Sometimes the water's going to freeze
The weather's gonna change (x2)

Chorus
But the weather inside is fine
Sunny and warm all the time
I've got my own weather inside
And the weather inside is fine

Verse
It may be foggy and wet
But here's something you must not forget
The weather's gonna change (x2)

The wind may blow and the snow may snow
But it feels like Jamaica wherever I go
The weather's gonna change (x2)

Chorus: repeat chorus

Bridge
Through the wind and the rain don't complain
I just walk on through
No need to frown, nothing gets me down
Inside my skies are blue

Chorus: repeat chorus
