Between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., children and adults alike should both avoid the sun completely, as the UV radiation at this time is at its highest. You should therefore find a shaded area or stay indoors. Parasols or awnings create suitably shady spaces in the garden, where children can also play during the hottest time of the day. But children need the right clothing and sun protection in the shade, as well. During a beach holiday, take advantage of the early morning and late afternoon for digging, splashing and swimming – it’s not only better for your health, but it’s also much nicer!
