Five Ways to Keep Your Kids Cool in the Heat
IT can be hard – and expensive – to keep kids cool when it’s hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mother of two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won’t cost the earth.
Pull them off
It may sound simple, but undressing children at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it’s hot outside. Remember to apply sunscreen regularly, as their skin will be more exposed to the sun.
Cool the bedrooms before bedtime
When it’s hot outside, it can be hard for kids to fall asleep – especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that doesn’t get direct sunlight, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It’s also a good idea to keep the curtains closed to prevent the room from heating up.
Wear a hat
Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure your kids wear a hat when they play outside. It protects their face and head from the sun and it also helps if you have a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your little one struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under their chin to help.
Avoid the car
The car can be one of the hottest places to be during a heat wave, and it often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it’s better to stay home than to take the kids somewhere in a hot car.
Stay hydrated
This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you remind your children to drink regularly and keep them topped up with cold fluids when you can. Also use ice to make sure it is as cold as possible.

Lilli’s post was only shared an hour ago, but it has clearly made an impression: it quickly received 65 likes and 89 comments.
