Dr. Jessica Peck: When your kids are running around outside, are you thinking about teaching them a habit that could protect their health for decades to come? Sun safety is one of those simple everyday choices that can have a lifelong impact. Psalm 113:3 reminds us from the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised. We can enjoy God's creation while also caring wisely for the bodies he has entrusted to us. Teach your children to seek shade, especially when UV exposure is strongest. Make hats and protective clothing part of the routine and use broad spectrum water resistant barrier sunscreens with spf sun protection factor 30 or higher. Reapply regularly at least every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. And remember, cloudy skies don't eliminate UV exposure. It's so important for us to think about what healthy habits we're building today that can help our children care for the body that God has given them for their earthly lifetime. Try it out. I'll see you on the Doctor Nurse Mama show on American Family Radio.
