7 Answers to Questions About Keeping Kids Safe Outdoors in the Summer

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. are peak hours in which the sun is at its hottest and harmful UV rays are at their highest. Avoid spending excess time outdoors during these hours and try to seek shade when the sun is highest and strongest. Plan outdoor activities for the early morning or late evening, when the risks of heat-related illnesses and burns are much lower.
