Summer is the ultimate laid-back time for kids. Parents, help keep the good times rolling by making safety an important part of summer fun.
“Have you ever had a bad sunburn?” said Kimber Guinn, D.O., MBA, a pediatrician at Lake Regional Clinic – Lake Ozark. “If so, you know it’s not fun. You can protect your children from the sun and other summer safety hazards by following a few tips.”
Sun Safety
Limit your child’s sun exposure, particularly during 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when the sun’s rays are the strongest. And make sure your family uses sunscreen, even on cloudy days. American Academy of Dermatology recommends that children older than six months of age wear an SPF of 30 or higher. Sunscreen should be reapplied every couple of hours. Try to avoid sunscreens that also have insect repellent because insect repellent should not be reapplied as frequently.
