Made in the Shade
While staying in the shade is better than nothing, a lot of ultraviolet radiation is reflected off the ground or nearby objects when you are under an awning or beach umbrella. Infants should be protected by shade as well as clothing.
Even with sunscreen on, it is best to keep children out of the sun from 10am to 4pm. Parents may have to lobby their schools to provide shaded areas for children during recess.
Finally, set a good example by following the above advice yourself.
