"Beat the Heat: Essential Tips for Kids' Outdoor Play and Health"

As extreme heat poses health risks, it is important to ensure the safety of children playing outdoors. Younger children are more vulnerable to high temperatures due to their smaller size and slower acclimatization to warm environments. Signs of distress from heat include changes in behavior, irritability, and complaints of not feeling well. To keep infants cool in strollers, wetting a thin cloth can help lower the temperature inside. Cooling down through showers, immersing feet in cold water, and staying hydrated are essential. Children should drink water frequently, avoid sugary and caffeinated drinks, and monitor urine color for hydration levels. Milk can also be a good choice for hydration, especially for young athletes.
