FAMILY
FOCUS
Fun in the Sun!

Keep your family safe this summer by


following these tips from the American Academy
of Pediatrics (AAP).

Babies under 6 months:


The two main recommendations from
the AAP to prevent sunburn are to avoid
sun exposure and to dress infants in
lightweight long pants, long-sleeved shirts,
and brimmed hats that shade the neck to
prevent sunburn. However, when adequate
clothing and shade are not available,
parents can apply a minimal amount
of sunscreen with at least 15 SPF (sun
protection factor) to small areas, such as
the infants face. If an infant gets a sunburn,
apply cool compresses to the affected area.

Stay in the shade whenever possible, and


limit sun exposure during the peak intensity
hours - between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
On both sunny and cloudy days use a
sunscreen with an SPF 15 or greater that
protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Reapply sunscreen every two hours or
after swimming or sweating.
Use extra caution near water and sand
(and even snow!) as they reflect UV rays
and may result in sunburn more quickly.

For more tips on sun and water safety, visit www.


healthychildren.org
Source: www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/
news-features-and-safety-tips/Pages/Sun-and-Water-SafetyTips.aspx

For All Other Children:


The first, and best, line of defense
against harmful ultraviolet radiation (UVR)
exposure is covering up. Wear a hat with
a three-inch brim or a bill facing forward,
sunglasses (look for sunglasses that
provide 97% -100% protection against
both UVA and UVB rays), and clothing
with a tight weave.

Journey on the Go events are a


great way to introduce new ways
to cover multiple disciplines with
one topic. Our staff interact with
the children (with the help of the
teacher/provider) for 30 minutes
and provide handouts for extending
the learning long after we leave!
