5 ways to keep your kids cool on hot days
Keeping your kids cool when it’s hot outside can be really difficult and expensive, but Sarah Bull, senior reporter at Fabulous Digital and mother of two, shares five ways to help without breaking the budget.
Strip it off
It may seem simple, but keeping your child naked inside the house can really help them regulate their body temperature when it’s hot outside. Since more of your child’s skin is exposed to the sun, don’t forget to apply sunscreen regularly.
Cool your bedroom before nightfall
When it’s hot outside, it can be hard for your child to fall asleep, especially if your bedroom is oven-hot. If the room is out of direct sunlight, open the windows to let in some air. You can also keep the curtains closed to keep the room from getting too hot.
Wear a hat
This is another simple technique that really works: make sure your child wears a hat when playing outside. A hat will protect the face and head from the sun and can also help kids who don’t like bright sunlight. If your child doesn’t like wearing hats, try a hat with a strap that goes under the chin.
Avoid cars
The inside of a car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave and often takes a long time to cool down, so if you have a choice, it’s better to stay home than take your kids out somewhere in a hot car.
Stay hydrated
This is always important, but even more so during extreme heat: Remind your kids to drink regularly and keep them supplied with cold drinks whenever possible. Use ice as well to keep them as cold as possible.
