Hot days can lead to heat exhaustion in children, with symptoms like heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea and cool, clammy skin. Keep kids safe by encouraging frequent water breaks, dressing them in light clothing and avoiding outdoor play during peak heat hours. If symptoms appear, move them to a cooler place, offer water and seek care if needed.
