Protecting Young Children from Summer Heat

Abstract:

Young children are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses because they overheat faster and regulate body temperature less effectively than adults. Experts recommend avoiding peak heat hours, keeping children hydrated, dressing them in lightweight clothing, and never leaving them in vehicles. Parents should also avoid covering strollers with blankets, which can trap dangerous heat.
