Now that summer is here there are lots of ways to enjoy the
outdoors. From water play, gardening, taking walks, or playing in the back
yard, being outside is a healthy way to spend your day. Keep in mind the
following tips to ensure a safe and pleasant outdoors experience:
-
Take breaks from the sun and find
shade when you are feeling hot
-
Drink water to stay hydrated,
especially on days where the temperature rises above 85’ or if the humidity
level is high.
-
Wear light clothing and use a hat,
sunglasses, and sunscreen to avoid overexposure to the sun
- Go inside if you feel overheated
and sit down
Children are often distracted by the activities outdoors
that they do not notice when they are getting too hot or need a drink to stay
hydrated. When supervising outdoor play, remind children to take a break or
distract them with another activity such as reading in the shade or having a
snack to give them the break from the sun and heat.
