With the recent heatwave, it’s been a struggle to keep the kids cool. And although it’s tempting to rush out and enjoy the sun while it lasts, it’s important to play safe to avoid sunstroke and overheating.

• Stay out of the sun between 11am-3pm as this is when it’s hottest. If you must be out and about, stay in the shade wherever possible.
• Keep children’s arms and legs covered up with light cotton fabrics and always make sure they wear a hat.
• Suncream is your friend this summer and you should never be without it, even if you go out for the day and it doesn’t look very warm. Apply 15 minutes before going out and again immediately on sun exposure. Re-apply every 1-2 hours, paying particular attention to the face, ears and back of neck.

• Have plenty of fresh drinking water to hand and choose watery foods like melon, peaches, pineapples and nectarines along with cucumber and tomatoes. Fresh salads and fruit salads make tasty lunches and teas.
• In larger Boots stores, suncare consultants are on hand to give advice on how to protect against the dangers of sun exposure and to recommend products suitable for different skin types.

• Try to relax and if they don’t want to eat something, never force the issue. If you’re trying a new food, always combine it with one that you know they enjoy. Strange vegetables may not seem so scary if they are nestling next to a comforting blob of mashed potato!
