Sun Exposure
QUESTION
I am planning a party with 20 six-year-olds at our community pool. How do I help protect them from the sun?

Schedule the party after midday, or so that the kids are out of the sun eating and opening presents between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Consider sunhats or sunglasses for party favors, and provide lots of sunscreen. Also, be sure to reserve a shaded area for non-water activities.
