Can it be to hot for the kids to play outside?

Just wondering.

I say nope, but when its really hot and humid here, my kids are generally near a swimming pool or ocean

Since kids have a much higher metabolism than adults the short answer is yes. They will use up calories, fluids etc etc at a much faster rate and not be cognisant of the warning signs.

As a personal opinion, I suppose they could play outside at a pool, slip and slide, etc etc. I really would have a hard time letting them play at a local playgound for any extended period.

Needless to say, a large supply and avaiability of lots of fluids is a given.

I say let them stay outside. Just be sure to call them in for some fresh squeezed lemonade!

As long as they have on sunscreen and keep hydrated I think it's ok to be out. Maybe not for like hours n hours though. :umno:

We have the pool in the back yard and I don't think it is that hot yet, but they keep on wanting to play inside today. I keep warning them that in another month it is going to be to hot to really do anything for extended periods of time.

Yes, it can be too hot for kids to play outside. I have kept the kids in from time to time due to heat index, humidity, etc. Other times I've limited outside time, and when outside, made sure they had plenty of drinks and popsicles and sunscreen. In Charlotte and Indy we had a few days here and there that were too hot for man or beast, IMO.

Use best judgment, that's all you can do.

For extended periods of time of temperatures over 90. They should never be out without access to plenty of fluids or shade. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them. If it's too hot for your animal, it's also too hot for them.

Like the other parents have said, sunscreen! Good habits start young.
