We’re so excited for the warm, sunny months! ☀️As you and your family start enjoying the sun and spending more time outside, we want to remind you about the importance of sun protection! 🧴

Here are some helpful tips to keep your little ones safe in the sun this summer:

🌴Instead of sunscreen, keep babies 6 months and under in shaded areas and use sun-protective clothing items to protect their skin.
👒Utilize sun-protection accessories like sunhats and sunglasses.
🧴Use baby-safe sunscreens with mineral filters to prevent skin irritation.
🏖️Reapply! Make sure you take breaks in outdoor play to reset and reapply sunscreen, especially after swimming.

¡Estamos muy emocionados por los meses cálidos y soleados! ☀️ A medida que usted y su familia comienzan a disfrutar del sol y a pasar más tiempo al aire libre, queremos recordarle la importancia de la protección solar. 🧴

Aquí hay algunos consejos útiles para mantener a sus pequeños seguros este verano:

🌴 En lugar de aplicarles protector solar, mantenga a los bebés menores de 6 meses en áreas con sombra y vístalos con prendas de protección solar para proteger su piel.
👒 Utilice accesorios de protección solar como sombreros y gafas de sol.
🧴 Use protectores solares seguros para bebés con filtros minerales para prevenir la irritación de la piel.
🏖️ ¡Vuelva a aplicarlo! Asegúrese de tomar descansos del juego al aire libre y vuelva a aplicar el protector solar, especialmente después de nadar.

At WIC, we know that screen time and digital devices are a big concern for families. 👪 The American Academy of Pediatrics has recently updated its recommended guidelines on digital media to prevent potentially harmful effects on your family's health, safety, and well-being! 📱The AAP suggests several recommendations to support your family’s healthy use of technology:

✅Create a family technology plan and set boundaries on digital media.
✅Delay use of personal tablets.
✅Watch and play alongside your children to monitor digital content.
✅Use parental controls.

Check out the full article from the AAP, which provides even more recommendations and resources, such as a “Phone Ready questionnaire” and sample conversation starters about media: https://www.healthychildren.org/English/family-life/Media/Pages/helping-kids-thrive-in-a-digital-world-AAP-policy-explained.aspx

En WIC, sabemos que el tiempo de pantalla y los dispositivos digitales son una gran preocupación para las familias. 👪 La Academia Estadounidense de Pediatría (American Academy of Pediatrics, AAP) ha actualizado recientemente sus directrices recomendadas sobre los medios digitales para prevenir efectos potencialmente perjudiciales en la salud, la seguridad y el bienestar de su familia. 📱 La AAP sugiere varias recomendaciones para apoyar el uso saludable de la tecnología en su familia:

✅Cree un plan familiar de uso de la tecnología y establezca límites en los medios digitales.
✅Retrase el uso de tabletas personales.
✅Observe y juegue junto a sus hijos para supervisar el contenido digital.
✅Utilice controles parentales.
