☀ As summer temperatures rise, remember that kids are more sensitive to extreme heat and dehydration than adults. That's why it's important to limit the time young children spend outdoors in hot weather, especially if they are being active.
🚗 CAR SAFETY: Never leave children in a car on a hot day. And when you arrive at a hot car, let it cool down before putting children inside. It takes a very short amount of time for a child to overheat. If you see a child alone in a locked vehicle on a hot day, call 911.
🪟WINDOW SAFETY: While windows are open to catch a breeze, remember to take steps to prevent accidental window falls for children.
CHECKLIST:
✔Make sure children drink plenty of water during and after play.
✔Dress children in light, loose-fitting clothing
✔Find a cool place for children to rest and sleep.
