Ah, toddlers.
“The most accommodating and obedient age group of all!” said no one ever.
We’re the first to admit that kids bring with them innocence, wonder, and unparalleled excitement for the little things in life. But we’re also the first to agree that it can be downright impossible to get them to do something they don’t want to do.
Top of the “I-Don’t-Want-To-Do-It” List: wear a hat (for longer than 10 seconds).
With social distancing forcing kids to stay home from spring break through the end of the school year in some places, getting at least a little bit of outdoor time each day is more important than ever.

The great thing, however, is that if your child is currently in the second camp, with enough dedication on your part, they can earn a spot in the first group. Here are a few suggestions to help you make the transition from one to two:
When all else fails, try the subtle art of distraction: “What in the world could that be?!” (slips on hat as he looks the other way).
If you have struggled to get your kids to wear hats in the past, most likely there isn’t just one tip here that will do the trick. Like we mentioned earlier, the key is to be persistent and consistent.
And don’t forget that if you want a custom hat for a special occasion (birthday party, family reunion, company party, etc.), Acme Hat Co. offers great designs for kids plus low minimums, easy ordering, and fast turnaround.
Protecting a child requires effort and strategy since children can be naughty and hyperactive. As a parent, it is your responsibility to ensure that your child will not get any disease while they are growing up, and that includes protecting them against skin cancer. One of the ways is to keep them wear hats if they are outdoors. Make them do that through the following tips.
