1. Hide and Seek. UV rays are
strongest and most harmful
during midday, so plan indoor
activities during that time. If
this is not possible, seek shade
under a tree, an umbrella or
tent.
2. Cover Up. Clothing that
covers your child’s skin helps
protect against UV rays.
3. Get a Hat. Hats that shade
the face, scalp, ears, and neck
are easy to use and give great
protection.
4. Shades Are Cool. And they
protect your child’s eyes from
UV rays, which can lead to
cataracts later in life.
5. Use Sunscreen
cautiously.
Some studies suggest that
sunscreen may actually
contribute to cancer as well as
vitamin D deficiency.
The best advice?
Limit sun exposure and cover up!
