The risk of developing skin cancer will be substantially reduced for children who learn to "Block the sun, not the fun!" Developed by dermatologists from The Los Angeles Metropolitan Dermatological Society, Sun Safety for Kids is dedicated to reducing the incidence of skin cancer through teaching and promoting sun protection to children.

Sun protection methods include wearing hats and long clothing, seeking shade, and much more.

• Try to use a mower with a control that stops the mower from moving forward if the handle is let go.
• Children younger than 16 years should not be allowed to use ride-on mowers. Children younger than 12 years should not use walk-behind mowers.
• Make sure that sturdy shoes (not sandals or sneakers) are worn while mowing.
• Prevent injuries from flying objects, such as stones or toys, by picking up objects from the lawn before mowing begins.  Have anyone who usese a mower wear hearing and eye protection.
• Do not pull the mower backward or mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary, and carefully look for children behind you when you mow in reverse.
• Always turn off the mower and wait for the blades to stop completely before removing the grass catcher, unclogging the discharge chute, or crossing gravel paths, roads or other areas. 
• Do not allow children to ride as passengers on ride-on mowers.

Please make sure that your children are protected from sunburn, dehydration and accidental drowning. Apply sunscreen regularly and as the instructions indicate. Use the highest SPF available. Make sure that your children are drinking plenty of water, sodas are not good hydrators. Make sure they take breaks and come inside to cool off frequently. Never leave your child unattended while at a pool, not even a wading pool.
