(HealthDay News) -- Extreme heat can make people sick, especially children. That's why parents should be prepared to get overheated kids out of the hot sun and into an air-conditioned building.

The American Academy of Pediatricians offers this advice:

If your home isn't air conditioned, visit a pubic building such as a library.Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids all day long. Offer a drink before your child asks for one.Allow more naps and rest time than usual, as heat can make children feel tired.Have your child take a cool bath.Don't ever leave your child inside a hot car.
