Every morning when I step outside, the first thing I say is, "Wow...it's hot again today.... If I carry my child in my arms, we are both sweating, the water bottle is empty in the morning, and the car seat in the car is so warm that I hesitate to put the child in it. Raising a child in the summer is like training. At the very least, I want to be careful not to get heat stroke!
So, here are three apps and services that support childcare during such a heat wave!
Heat stroke alerts are at your fingertips! WBGT Checker
"Do you think it's safe to play outside today?" "Is it safe to play outside today?" "Is it a little better in the evening?" The smartphone application "WBGT Checker" helps you make such daily decisions.
The heat index is obtained in real time from observation points around the country and displayed in levels such as "Dangerous" and "Severely Alert," making it perfect for checking before going out. It is great because you don't have to search for it every time.
It is on days when children's risk of heat stroke increases that you should rely on the warning signs and make decisions about adjusting times and rescheduling outdoor play!

Yurukyara and the "Water Drinker" that keeps you hydrated.
When you are out and about in a flurry of activity, or at home during playtime at your own pace, you may find yourself saying, "Oh, my God! When you find yourself saying, "Oh, I forgot to rehydrate...! I forgot to rehydrate...! Have you ever had this happen to you? I have had that happen to me.... The perfect app for those times is "Mizuyuu O," an app that loosely supports your hydration.
Simple to use, just register your daily target amount of water and tap to record when you drink.
Each time you record, the gauge goes up and the character's appearance changes.
Characters can be selected from cat, kappa, and hamster.
It also has a reminding function, so you don't have to worry if you accidentally forget! It is now a staple in my home to drink water with my child while saying, "I'm going to drink water! It has become a staple in our home to drink water while saying "I'm going to drink water! I recommend this product as a fun and natural way to get into the habit of staying hydrated!
