Good shade with two layers and airflow between the layers. Have the kid sleep outside if weather permits. Have your child only wear a hat if he is in direct sun light, use strollers and backpacks with shade covers. Your child cannot cool himself by sweating like adults. Children cool themselves by sweating on the top of their heads, try not cover the head when it?s hot. If he is out of control, won?t stop crying, really short temper pour water directly on his head wetting his clothes. If the temperatures get above 100 and your child is active you most likely will have to use water to help cool him down his body is not developed enough. When in doubt pour water on his head and his should sleep like a baby. My kids have been to BM eight times never missed a day and they are 11 and 13 my youngest was two her first year. Have fun and everybody hates the dust.
