Summer Sun Exposure

Now that warmer weather is here, we’d like to remind all parents about the risks of too much sun. The highest risk of overexposure to the sun is from about 10:30 am to 3:00 pm. Use hats, light clothing, staying in the shade and especially sunscreen as methods to reduce sun exposure. Be aware that the risk of skin cancer later in life increases with increased sun exposure during childhood and adolescence.
