☀️💧 HOT WEATHER DO’S & DON’TS! 💧☀️
With temperatures rising, let’s help our children stay safe, cool and comfortable! Here are a few simple reminders for parents:
✅ DO: STAY HYDRATED 💧
Encourage children to drink water regularly throughout the day. Don’t wait until they feel thirsty to offer a drink.
👕 DO: WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING
Choose lightweight, loose-fitting and breathable clothing to help keep them cool. Hats and sunglasses can also provide extra protection when outdoors.
🌤️ DO: LIMIT OUTDOOR ACTIVITY
Try to plan outdoor play and activities for cooler parts of the day, and encourage regular breaks in a cool or shaded area.
❌ DON’T: OVERLOOK SKIN PROTECTION 🧴
Protect exposed skin from the sun with sunscreen, and use hats, umbrellas or shade when possible.
❌ DON’T: WAIT TO HYDRATE 💦
Children can become dehydrated before they realize they’re thirsty. Offer water frequently, especially during active play.
❌ DON’T: OVEREXERT YOURSELF 🥵
Encourage children to slow down, rest and cool off if they feel tired, dizzy, weak or overheated.
💙 A little preparation goes a long way! Let’s keep our children safe, cool and hydrated during hot weather.
