Stay active indoors
Due to hot weather in summers, it might become difficult to go out so try to stay active indoors.

Replace screen time with activities
Your child could spend many hours being active on the screen watching television or playing games on mobile but replace this time with some other activity. You can plan family activities or play with them at that time. Try to reduce this time as much as you can or encourage them to watch educational videos at the same time.
