FUN IN THE SUN
Keep your family safe this summer by following these
tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
BABIES UNDER 6 MONTHS:
The two main recommendations from the AAP to
prevent sunburn are to avoid sun exposure, and to
dress infants in lightweight long pants, long-sleeved
shirts, and brimmed hats that shade the neck to
prevent sunburn. However, when adequate clothing
and shade are not available, parents can apply a
minimal amount of sunscreen with at least 15 SPF (sun
protection factor) to small areas, such as the infant's
face and the back of the hands. If an infant gets
sunburn, apply cool compresses to the affected area.
FOR ALL OTHER CHILDREN:

is covering up. Wear a hat with
a three-inch brim or a bill facing
forward, sunglasses (look for
sunglasses that provide 97% -100%
protection against both UVA and
UVB rays), and clothing with a tight
weave.
Stay in the shade whenever possible, and limit
sun exposure during the peak intensity hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
On both sunny and cloudy days use a sunscreen
with an SPF 15 or greater that protects against UVA
and UVB rays.
Be sure to apply enough sunscreen -- about one
ounce per sitting for a young adult.
Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after
swimming or sweating.
Use extra caution near water and sand (and even
snow!) as they reflect UV rays and may result in
sunburn more quickly.
HEAT STRESS IN EXERCISING CHILDREN
The intensity of activities that last 15 minutes
or more should be reduced whenever high heat or
humidity reach critical levels.
At the beginning of a strenuous exercise program
or after traveling to a warmer climate, the intensity
and duration of outdoor activities
should start low and then gradually

water/hydration breaks. Children should promptly
move to cooler environments if they feel dizzy,
lightheaded or nauseous.
POOL SAFETY
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never leave children alone in or near the pool or
spa, even for a moment.
Whenever infants or toddlers are in or around
water, an adult – preferably one who knows how
to swim and perform CPR – should be within arm’s
length, providing “touch supervision.”
Install a fence at least 4 feet high around all
four sides of the pool. The fence should not have
openings or protrusions that a young child could use
to get over, under, or through.
Make sure pool gates open out from the pool,
and self-close and self-latch at a height children
can't reach. Consider alarms on the gate to alert
you when someone opens the gate. Consider surface
wave or underwater alarms as an added layer of
protection.
If the house serves as the fourth side of a fence
surrounding a pool, install an alarm on the exit door
to the yard and the pool. For additional protection,
install window guards on windows facing the pool.
Drowning victims have also used pet doors to gain
access to pools. Keep all of your barriers and alarms
in good repair with fresh batteries.
Keep rescue equipment (a shepherd's hook
– a long pole with a hook on the end — and life
preserver) and a portable telephone near the
pool. Choose a shepherd’s hook and other rescue
equipment made of fiberglass or other materials
that do not conduct electricity.
• Avoid inflatable swimming aids such
as “floaties.” They are not a substitute
for approved life vests and can give
children and parents a false sense of
security.
•
Children ages 1 to 4 may be
at a lower risk of drowning if they
have had some formal swimming
instruction. However, there is no
evidence that swimming lessons or
water survival skills courses can
prevent drowning in babies younger
than 1 year of age.
•
The decision to enroll a 1- to
4-year-old child in swimming lessons
should be made by the parent and
based on the child’s developmental
readiness, but swim programs should
never be seen as “drown proofing” a
child of any age.
•
Avoid entrapment: Suction
from pool and spa drains can trap a
swimmer underwater. Do not use a pool
or spa if there are broken or missing
drain covers. Ask your pool operator if
your pool or spa’s drains are compliant with the
Pool and Spa Safety Act. If you have a swimming
pool or spa, ask your pool service representative
to update your drains and other suction fitting with
anti-entrapment drain covers and other devices or
systems. See PoolSafely.gov for more information on
the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.
• Large, inflatable, above-ground pools have
become increasingly popular for backyard use.
Children may fall in if they lean against the soft side
of an inflatable pool. Although such pools are often
exempt from local pool fencing requirements, it is
essential that they be surrounded by an appropriate
fence just as a permanent pool would be so that
children cannot gain unsupervised access.
•
If a child is missing, look for him or her in the
pool or spa first.
•
Share safety instructions with family, friends and
neighbors.
BOATING SAFETY
•
Children should wear life jackets at all times
when on boats or near bodies of water.
•
Make sure the life jacket is the right size for
your child. The jacket should not be loose. It should
always be worn as instructed with all straps belted.
•
Blow-up water wings, toys, rafts and air
mattresses should not be used as life jackets or
personal flotation devices. Adults should wear life
jackets for their own protection, and to set a good
example.
•
Adolescents and adults should be warned of
the dangers of boating when under the influence
of alcohol, drugs, and even some prescription
medications.
OPEN WATER SWIMMING
•
•
•
•
•
•
Never swim alone. Even good swimmers need
buddies!
A lifeguard (or another adult who knows about
water rescue) needs to be watching children
whenever they are in or near the water. Younger
children should be closely supervised while in or
near the water – use “touch supervision,” keeping
no more than an arm’s length away.
Make sure your child knows never to dive into
water except when permitted by an adult who
knows the depth of the water and who has checked
for underwater objects.
Never let your child swim in canals or any fast
moving water.
Ocean swimming should only be allowed when a
lifeguard is on duty.
Teach children about rip currents. If you are
caught in a rip current, swim parallel to shore until
you escape the current, and then swim back to
shore.

CONSEJOS DE SEGURIDAD EN LUGARES
ASOLEADOS Y EN EL AGUA
Mantenga a su familia segura este verano al seguir
estos consejos de la American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP). Por favor siéntase en libertad de usarlos en
cualquier documento impreso o emisión radiofónica o
televisiva, con reconocimiento apropiado de la fuente.
DIVERSIÓN EN LUGARES ASOLEADOS
Bebés de menos de seis meses de edad:
• Las dos principales recomendaciones de la AAP
para prevenir quemaduras solares son evitar
la exposición al sol, y vestir a los bebés con
pantalones largos ligeros, camisetas de manga
larga y sombreros de ala ancha que den sombra
al cuello para prevenir quemaduras solares.
Sin embargo, cuando no hay ropa ni sombra
adecuadas disponibles, los padres pueden aplicar
una cantidad mínima de protector solar con FPS
(factor de protección solar [en idioma inglés: SPF,
Sun Protection Factor]) de al menos 15 en áreas
pequeñas, como la cara y la parte de atrás (el
dorso) de las manos del bebé. Si un bebé sufre una
quemadura solar, aplique compresas frías sobre el
área afectada.
PARA TODOS LOS OTROS NIÑOS:
• La primera, y mejor, línea de defensa contra la
exposición a la perjudicial radiación ultravioleta
(RUV) es la cobertura. Use un sombrero con ala
de 7.5 cm (3 pulgadas) o una gorra con visera que
mire hacia delante, gafas de sol (busque gafas
de sol que proporcionen 97 a 100% de protección
contra los rayos UVA y UVB), y ropa de algodón de
tejido apretado.
• Permanezca en la sombra siempre que sea posible,
y limite la exposición a la luz solar durante las
horas de máxima intensidad: entre las 10 a.m. y
las 4 p.m.
• En días tanto soleados como nublados use un
protector solar con un FPS de 15 o más que proteja
contra los rayos UVA y UVB.
• Asegúrese de aplicar suficiente protector solar:
alrededor de 30 gramos (1 onza) por cada
aplicación para un adulto joven.
• Vuelva a aplicar protector solar cada dos horas, o
después de nadar o sudar.
• Tenga precaución adicional cerca de agua y arena
(¡e incluso nieve!), porque reflejan los rayos UV,
y pueden dar por resultado quemadura solar con
mayor rapidez.
ESTRÉS POR CALOR EN NIÑOS QUE ESTÁN HACIENDO
EJERCICIO
• La intensidad de actividades de 15 minutos o más
de duración debe reducirse siempre que el calor y la
humedad altos alcancen cifras críticas.
• Al principio de un programa de ejercicio vigoroso,
o después de viajar hacia un clima más caluroso, la
intensidad y la duración del ejercicio inicialmente se
deben limitar, y después aumentar de manera gradual
durante un periodo de 7 a 14 días para aclimatarse al
calor, en particular si es muy húmedo.
• Antes de actividad física prolongada, los niños deben
estar bien hidratados y no deben estar sedientos.
Durante la primera hora de ejercicio, puede usarse
agua sola. Los niños siempre deben tener disponible
agua o una bebida deportiva, y beber cada 20
minutos mientras están haciendo ejercicio en el
calor. Los ambientes excesivamente calurosos y
húmedos, el ejercicio más prolongado y extenuante,
y la sudoración copiosa, deben ser razones para que
los niños incrementen considerablemente su ingestión
de líquidos. Después de una hora de ejercicio, los
niños necesitan beber una bebida con carbohidratos y
electrolitos a fin de reponer los electrolitos perdidos
en el sudor, y obtener carbohidratos para generar
energía.
• Las ropas deben ser ligeras y de colores claros, y
deben limitarse a una capa de material absorbente
para facilitar la evaporación del sudor. Las camisetas
saturadas de sudor deben reemplazarse por ropas
secas.
• Los entrenamientos y los juegos jugados en el calor
deben acortarse, y es necesario instituir recesos
más frecuentes para tomar agua e hidratarse. Los
niños deben buscar ambientes más
frescos si sienten que su
temperatura ha aumentado
excesivamente o se sienten
demasiado fatigados.
SEGURIDAD EN LA PISCINA
• Nunca deje a los niños solos
en la piscina o el jacuzzi
(spa), ni cerca de los
mismos, ni por un momento.
• Instale una cerca de al menos
1.2 metros (4 pies) de alto
alrededor de toda la piscina. La
cerca no debe tener aberturas
ni protuberancias que
un niño de corta
edad pueda usar para
trepar por la cerca, o
para pasar por debajo
o a través de la misma.
• Asegúrese de que las puertas
que den hacia la piscina se
abran desde la piscina hacia la
•

•
habitación, y de que se cierren, y el pestillo caiga,
automáticamente, a una altura que los niños no
puedan alcanzar.
Si la casa es el cuarto lado de una cerca que rodea
una piscina, instale una alarma en la puerta de
salida al patio y la piscina.
Mantenga equipo de rescate (un palo largo con
un gancho en el extremo, y un salvavidas) y un
teléfono portátil cerca de la piscina. Elija un palo
con gancho y otro equipo de rescate hecho de fibra
de vidrio u otros materiales que no conduzcan la
electricidad.
Evite los auxiliares para nadar inflables, como los
“flotadores”. No son un sustituto para chalecos
salvavidas aprobados, y pueden dar a los niños y los
padres una falsa sensación de seguridad.
Los niños de uno a cuatro años de edad pueden
tener menor riesgo de ahogarse si han recibido
alguna instrucción formal en natación. Sin embargo,
no hay evidencia de que las clases de natación o
cursos de habilidades de supervivencia en el agua
puedan prevenir el ahogamiento en bebés menores
de un año de edad.
La decisión de inscribir a un niño de uno a cuatro
años de edad en clases de natación debe ser tomada
por los padres, y basarse en el hecho de si, a juzgar
por su desarrollo, su hijo está preparado para ello,
pero nunca debe considerarse que los programas de
natación "protegen contra ahogamiento" a un niño
de cualquier edad.
Siempre que los bebés o los niños que empiezan
a andar estén dentro, o cerca, del agua, un
adulto—de preferencia que sepa nadar, y que
esté capacitado en reanimación cardiopulmonar
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation [CPR])—debe estar
cerca de ellos dentro del alcance de sus brazos,
proporcionándoles “supervisión con tacto”.
Evite el atrapamiento: la aspiración desde los
desagües de piscinas y jacuzzis puede atrapar a
un nadador bajo el agua. No use una piscina o un
jacuzzi si los recubrimientos del drenaje están rotos
o faltan. Pregunte a su operador de piscina si los
desagües de su piscina o jacuzzi cumplen con las
especificaciones establecidas en la Ley de Seguridad
de Piscinas y Jacuzzis (Pool and Spa Safety Act).
Si usted tiene una piscina o un jacuzzi, pida a su
representante de servicio de piscina que actualice
sus desagües y otras instalaciones de aspiración
con cubiertas de desagüe anti-atrapamiento y otros
dispositivos o sistemas. Visite PoolSafely.gov para
obtener más información sobre la Ley de Seguridad
de Piscinas y Jacuzzis, Virginia Graeme Baker
(Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act).
El uso de piscinas inflables grandes por arriba del
nivel del suelo en patios traseros ha adquirido
popularidad creciente. Los niños pueden caer
dentro si se inclinan contra el lado blando de
una piscina inflable. Aunque esas piscinas a
menudo están exentas de requerimientos locales
de colocación de cerca alrededor de la piscina,
es esencial que estén rodeadas por una cerca
adecuada, de la misma manera que lo estaría una
piscina permanente, para que los niños no puedan
tener acceso no supervisado.
SEGURIDAD EN EMBARCACIONES
• Los niños deben usar chalecos salvavidas en todo
momento cuando estén en embarcaciones o cerca de
cuerpos de agua.
• Asegúrese de que el chaleco salvavidas sea de la
talla correcta para su hijo. El chaleco no debe quedar
holgado. Siempre debe usarse según las instrucciones,
con todas las correas abrochadas.
• Los flotadores, los juguetes, las balsas y los colchones
de aire, inflables, no deben usarse como chalecos
salvavidas ni como dispositivos de flotación personal.
Los adultos deben usar salvavidas para su propia
protección, y para poner un buen ejemplo.
• Es necesario advertir a los adolescentes y a los adultos
de los peligros de navegar bajo la influencia del alcohol,
drogas, o incluso de algunas medicinas recetadas.
NATACIÓN EN MAR ABIERTO
• Nunca nade solo. ¡Incluso los buenos nadadores
necesitan compañeros!
• Un socorrista (u otro adulto que tenga conocimiento
de rescate acuático) necesita vigilar a los niños
siempre que estén en el agua o cerca de la misma.
Los niños de más corta edad deben ser supervisados
de manera estrecha mientras estén en el agua o
cerca de la misma—use "supervisión con tacto",
al mantenerlos a una distancia de no más de la
longitud de un brazo.
• Asegúrese de que su hijo sepa que nunca debe
sumergirse en el agua, excepto cuando se lo
permita un adulto que conozca la profundidad del
agua y que haya verificado que no hay objetos bajo
el agua.
• Nunca permita que su hijo nade en canales o en
cualquier cauce de agua con movimiento rápido.
• Sólo debe permitirse nadar en el mar cuando haya
un socorrista de guardia.
• Enseñe a los niños acerca de las corrientes de
resaca (también llamadas corrientes de retorno). Si
queda atrapado en una corriente de ese tipo, nade
paralelo a la costa hasta que escape de la corriente,
y después nade de regreso a la costa.

A Close Up View: How California’s New Minimum Wage Impacts Child Care
WHEN DOES THE LAW GO INTO EFFECT, AND FOR WHOM?
1. The law phases-in increases over time. SB 3 outlines a schedule of automatic increases in the state minimum wage, which
would raise it to $15 per hour by January 1, 2022. Small businesses with 25 or fewer employees have an extra year to comply with
each increase.
2. To benefit from minimum wage laws, including SB 3, a worker must meet the law’s definition of employee, which excludes
family members. SB 3 expands the definition of a “family member” to whom minimum wage law does not apply to include
registered domestic partners, grandparents and grandchildren, and siblings, in addition to parent, spouse, or children.
HOW DOES THE LAW AFFECT CHILD CARE CENTERS, FAMILY CHILD CARE HOMES, AND LICENSE-EXEMPT CARE?
3. The primary, direct beneficiaries of SB 3 will be teachers and staff in licensed child care centers, and assistants employed in
large family child care homes.
4. In-home child care providers or nannies should benefit from SB 3, but may find it difficult to do
5. SB 3 will not directly increase the income of most family child care home providers.
How Will the Law Affect Parent Eligibility for Subsidized Child Care?
6. SB 3 may make some families ineligible for child care but not economically self-sufficient, if they involve two wage earners,
or one who earns overtime. A family of four loses eligibility for services if its income exceeds $46,896. The average California
Self-Sufficiency Standard for two adults with one preschooler and one school-age child was $63,979 in 2014. A family of four that
includes two, full-time workers earning the $15 per hour will earn $62,400, well over current income limits for child care, but still
short of the self-sufficiency standard.
HOW CAN AND CAN’T THE MINIMUM WAGE HELP PARENTS AND PROVIDERS WHO CARE FOR OUR CHILDREN?
7. The minimum wage increase can help ease economic burdens for some low-income California families, which itself has been
shown to improve child outcomes.
8. The minimum wage increase cannot solve the statewide crisis of unaffordable and yet underpaid child care, because of an
inherent structural problem in the economics of child care: a transfer of wages for the same period of time, often from one
minimum wage earner to another minimum wage earner. This is true even at lower minimum wage levels.
WHAT ARE SOME POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES THAT THE STATE SHOULD ADDRESS?
9. An increase in minimum wage may exacerbate wage compression. There has been an enormous push in child care and early
education policy to raise qualifications, with no comparable rise in compensation. Administrators report that the difference
between an early education teacher with 15 years’ experiences and a higher degree, and an entering child care provider, is only a
few dollars an hour.
10. Because child care costs are largely labor driven, and cannot be spread across families through “economies of scale,” wage
increases may increase the costs charged to parents, who cannot afford to pay. A family child care home cannot choose to accept
fifty, instead of twelve, two-olds into her home. Because the cost cannot be spread across families by accepting more children,
then child care providers cannot increase pay for themselves or, where applicable, their employees, without increasing the rates
they charge to parents.

Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve
25050 Coast Highway 1
Jenner, CA 95450
Local: 707-847-3221
Kruse Rhododendron State Natural Reserve is located adjacent to
Salt Point State Park. Edward P. Kruse donated the land to the people
of California in 1933 as a living memorial to his father, a founder
of San Francisco's German Bank. The land was part of a large ranch
established in 1880, on which the Kruse family raised sheep and
carried on logging and tanbark harvesting operations.
Today, this pristine reserve contains second-growth redwood, Douglas
fir, grand firs, tanoaks, and a plethora of rhododendrons. Each May
these spectacular flowers burst into bloom and color the deep green
of the forest with brilliant pink blossoms.
There are five miles of hiking trails through the quiet forest with a
short loop trail that leads through clusters of rhododendrons. Ferns
carpet the canyons where seasonal streams abound. In addition to
the rhododendrons, other understory plants include salals, pacific
wax myrtle, and California Huckleberry. Please remain on the trails
so that the young plants may flourish. No dogs or bikes are allowed
on the trails. Buses are not recommended as the narrow road has no
turn around.
