It's summer time! I love summer and being able to play and enjoy everything CNY has to offer for the summer. It's also a time when heat stroke can happen, sunburns, and a lot more. Here are a few tips to help keep you and your kids safe during the summer:
Sun and Heat
1. Sunscreen for everyone! SPF 50 is recommended
2. Wear a hat
