In hot areas, dress your child in summer clothes made of loosely woven material so air can circulate freely over young skin and allow moisture to evaporate freely. Snug-fitting clothes restrict blood circulation and should be avoided. Put a hat on the child, especially one with a wide brim, to shade the head and face.
