Young children need to play outside for strong bodies and minds. But hot weather needs special care, especially now with climate change.

Children get hotter faster because they sweat less than adults. Their bodies also absorb more heat, making them more at risk.

Parents must watch for signs like no tears or dry diapers. Give infants small, frequent drinks to keep them hydrated.

Avoid going out during the hottest parts of the day. Do not cover strollers with blankets; use a sun canopy instead.

Cars can get extremely hot very quickly, even in the shade. Never leave children alone in a car; always check the back seat.
