From time to time I’ll be posting about my experiences being a parent. We have two amazing kids, and we have learned a great deal since they arrived. With summer here, we have learned that in addition to constant outdoor activity, little ones need adequate protection from the elements. Benjamin, who is almost 2 years old, loves being outdoors. If he could be outside 24/7 he would love it. His skin soaks up the sun like Daddy’s, so we need to slather on sunscreen to keep him from burning. He doesn’t seem to care…in fact he usually tries to help put it on. Not that he gets any of it gets on his skin. At least his shoes and shirt are well protected from the sun’s harmful rays :)It’s said that kids acquire up to 80% of their lifetime sun exposure before they are 18 years old. Knowing that, here are some links related to sun protection for kids:
