Australian culture involves a great deal of recreational activity, so
parents really need to consider ways to reduce sun exposure to their
children when playing outside.
In conjunction with other sun protection measures shade is your best option for keeping your childrens' skin
safe. Avoiding direct sunlight and opting for shade, such as trees or
shelters, is one of the most effective ways of reducing sun exposure.
This isn't always possible or practical, and parents need to find other ways of sun protection. Sunscreen, sun protective clothing, a wide brimmed sun hat and kids sunglasses are all effective.
