Summer Outdoor Safety Tips for Kids

Home // Summer Outdoor Safety Tips for Kids

Kids laying on artificial grass in Fresno, CaliforniaSummer is right around the corner and, for California residents and their families, this means plenty of time spent outdoors. Installing synthetic grass can help protect kids at your home, but there are other steps to take to make sure your kids are safe this summer when playing outdoors. Follow our tips to have a fun and safe summer.

Sun Protection

The number one concern for California parents is sun protection. It’s no secret that the summers are warm, but excessive sun exposure can be dangerous. Make sure your child has sunscreen applied every morning for 30 minutes before going outside to allow the sunscreen to soak in. Reapply the same amount every 2 hours after that.

 

Proper clothing can also protect your child’s sensitive skin from sun rays. Make sure your child is covered in lightweight clothing that covers as much of the skin as possible while remaining comfortable. Cotton clothing is cool and protective and does an excellent job preventing sun exposure.

 

Stay Hydrated

Water is essential during hot Fresno summers. Hydration keeps your body from overheating and prevents serious issues. Even if you aren’t participating in strenuous activity in the summer sun, make sure to bring ample water with you to keep children happy and safe. Don’t forget, summer activities can be draining for little ones; bring snacks as well.

 

Water Safety

It’s hard to imagine a day in California where a pool isn’t being used or a weekend trip to the beach isn’t in the future. Kids should practice safe habits in and around the water to build positive habits for the summers to come. If you have a pool in your backyard, it’s important to place a secure barrier around it to separate the pool area from the area where kids play. Our team of designers can work around existing landscaping features. We typically install synthetic grass in areas away from your pool to encourage children to play in designated spaces. Other water safety tips include:

  • Never leave children unsupervised in the pool
  • Enroll in swim lessons
  • Establish and enforce pool rules
  • Enroll in CPR classes to respond in case of emergency
