| | Sun Safety |
 | | If your child is in the sun between these hours, as many kids are, be sure to apply protective sunscreen - even if he or she is just playing in the backyard. |
 | | If your infant must be in the sun, dress him or her in clothing that covers the body, including hats with wide brims to shadow the face. |
 | | By using a variety of sun protection measures, such as keeping your child indoors during peak hours and encouraging your child to wear hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts, as well as using sunscreen, you can decrease your child's exposure to the damaging effects of the sun. |
