Helping kids build confidence at the start of a new school year is key. Self-esteem—how a child sees and values themselves—can be shaped by many parts of their life. When kids and teens feel good about who they are, they’re more likely to succeed in school, feel secure and accepted, and be open to trying new things.

With temperatures rising this August, it’s important to know the risks of heat-related illness and tips for staying cool. If you must go outside, dress properly and take breaks often.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If someone is experiencing symptoms, call 911 right away, move them to a cooler place, and help lower their body temperature with cool cloths or a cool bath. Do not give them anything to drink.
