A child\u2019s body surface area makes up a greater proportion of their weight than adults, and therefore causes them to sweat more and quickly lose electrolytes in comparison to adults. Small children are also much less likely to recognize the signs of dehydration. We\u2019ve come up with some great tips to keep everyone safe and cool this summer!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Recognize the Signs.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Kids won\u2019t be able to know why they\u2019re feeling signs of heat exhaustion so they may not verbalize them. Here are some warning signs:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nausea and vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cool, clammy skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dizziness or weakness<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fatigue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Headache<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Confusion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Muscle Cramps<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If children in your care exhibit these signs, immediately cool them down by placing cold compresses or ice packs on the neck, groin, or armpit areas, or have them sit in cool water. Going indoors into air-conditioning and removing layers of clothing will also cool them down.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Stay hydrated.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be sure to take frequent water breaks on hot days. Try watermelon, homemade popsicles, or fruit-infused waters as fun alternatives to plain water, and definitely avoid sugary beverages such as sports drinks or sodas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Avoid the heat of the day. <\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Schedule the bulk of high-energy outdoor activities to occur in the cool of the morning or early evening and have some indoor activities planned for the hottest part of the day (11am-3pm).<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Protect your skin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Always apply sunscreen when spending any time outdoors this summer and reapply at least every 2 hours. Dress your children in single, lightweight layers of clothing in light colors. Keep clothing loose so that sweating is not inhibited. Darker, more saturated colors will absorb more of the sun\u2019s heat and increase risk of overheating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidsrkidspearland.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Highland Glen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Pearland, Texas?
