Bodbog trivia: How to dress children in summer

　　As temperatures gradually rise, the Dog Days of Summer are fast approaching. This period is the hottest time of year, and out of concern that their children might overheat, many mothers dress them in very “cool” clothing—tank tops, shorts, and the like. However, experts point out that when the temperature exceeds 35°C, exposing the skin not only fails to provide relief but actually absorbs heat, increasing the risk of heatstroke. Therefore, if you want your child to enjoy a comfortable summer, Bodbog Please accept these two suggestions!

　　1. Opt for light-colored clothing whenever possible. Dress your child in lightweight, pure-cotton garments in light shades, as these absorb less heat and keep them cool and comfortable. The style should be loose-fitting, breathable, and feature a low neckline, since children’s necks, arms, and other creased areas tend to sweat easily; wearing clothes with a higher collar can impede sweat evaporation.

　　Second, pants-skirts should not be too long. Many moms choose long pants or long skirts to protect their children from the sun and insects, but because the hems of these styles are often excessively long, they can easily get dirty if not carefully watched. More importantly, such pants-skirts are prone to causing tripping hazards, which can pose safety risks when children are active. Therefore, it’s perfectly fine to let your child wear short-sleeved tops and shorts.
