JUNE HEALTH

Children love to play outside, especially when the weather is warm.  Parents, however, should know that active children do not adjust to hot temperatures (greater than 95deg) as well as adults.  They produce more heat during physical activity and they sweat less, which reduces their ability to get rid of body heat and could lead to dehydration.

Here are some simple tips to help your child stay safely hydrated while playing outdoors in the heat.

7 Tips to Prevent Dehydration in Children

1.     Know the physical condition of the child. 

If the child is not used to exercise, start slow.

2.     Acclimate them to the heat.

Slowly increase amount of time playing in the heat.

3.     Give them water or sports drinks.

4.     Know the weather conditions and play accordingly.

Avoid practice sessions during the hottest times of the day.

5.     Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.

6.     Watch them closely.

7.     Have an emergency plan.
