🌡️ Triple-digit temperatures are here, and children are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

Did you know that kids absorb heat faster, sweat less efficiently, and rely on adults to recognize when something is wrong? Even a short time outdoors can become dangerous when temperatures climb.

As you make weekend plans, take a few minutes to review these important heat safety tips, including:
💧 Why you should hydrate before your child feels thirsty
☀️ How to recognize early signs of heat exhaustion
🚨 When heat illness becomes a medical emergency
🚗 The life-saving A.C.T. reminder to help prevent hot car tragedies

Check out the full blog post on our website.

A little preparation can go a long way in keeping your family safe during extreme heat.

If mealtimes feel like a struggle, you’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. Picky eating is a normal part of childhood, but the way we respond can make a big difference.
