Protection from UV rays involves multiple strategies:
1. Clothing: Encourage children to wear protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats. 2. Sunscreen: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Apply it generously 15-30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. 3. Shade: Seek shade whenever possible, especially during peak sun hours from 10 AM to 4 PM. 4. Sunglasses: Ensure children wear sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays to protect their eyes.
