The scorching sun rays are harmful to your tiny tots. The kids are likely to suffer dehydration and exhaustion in summer. Therefore, it is crucial to safeguard the kids from the heat and harmful sun rays.

Often, kids refuse to stay indoors. They insist on playing outdoor games and this negligence can prove to be detrimental to their health. Even if they stay indoors, the kids can still feel the brunt of the burning sun.

Thus, what can the parents do to counter the damaging effects of the sun? Well, the parents can follow these simple summer safety tips to protect their darlings from the summer heat.

                                                           
Shakes, squash, and juices provide the right nutrition to kids in summer.

Healthy eating for kids is important which contains essential nutrients and also tastes delicious to satisfy the taste buds of kids.

• Remember to carry a water bottle in your bag while going out in sun. Intake of water at regular intervals is important for kids to safeguard them from dehydration.
