With summer right around the corner and the school year winding down, the kids will be enjoying many fun outdoor activities soon.  Here are a few tips to think about when your children are out having fun.

  •  Stay Hydrated

Ensure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to sugary drinks.  Proper hydration allows your body to naturally cool down.  Also, by taking frequent water breaks, you will be able to help prevent dehydration.

  •   Respect The Sun

It is important to always wear sunscreen to avoid sunburn.  Continued exposure to the sun can not only cause temporary discomfort but also long-term health risks.  Your skin can get sunburned in as little as a few minutes, so try to reapply sunscreen frequently when enjoying the sunshine.

 Summer is a great time for kids to be outdoors and be active.  Be sure to keep an eye out for the elementary Friday notes for some fun activities the kids can participate in over the summer!
