37 is normal
in kids i dont get worried till above 38 as usually kids can get quite hot playing.
if 40 then do things like sticking in a cold bath etc.
howevver, some kids, mine particularly, have lots of wax in their ears, so normal temp is sometimes 36.5ish when using ear thermometers.

You're supposed to be 37, 39 is considered high in children.
