You are not alone if you struggle to get sunscreen on your kids every summer. Sometimes the last thing our kids want to do is sit still long enough to get sunscreen applied to their face and body. Try these tips:
• Start a timer and challenge your kids to keep still long enough for you to apply the sunscreen before the timer goes off. Then you can challenge them to do a scan to ensure you haven’t missed any spots.
• Apply sunscreen at snack time, giving it time to soak in while your kids finish their tasty treats before heading out into the sun.
• Apply your own sunscreen first. Children always want to imitate their parents so let them know that as soon as you’re done with yourself, they’re up next.
