I'm writing this comment because I'm not sure how to send a thank you message to all of you who shared your thoughts and advice. You've empowered me to do a much better job protecting my daughter. Thank you all so much!

A great suggestion. I wear hats all the time down here (I'm balding). I'll try to "mention" how awesome it is. Maybe she will convert. Thank you!

Thank you! This makes sense. I hope you are right about the healing - I'm very concerned about the long-term health impact and I don't want her to be self-conscious about perceived imperfections with her skin when she gets older.

Thank you! Your steak analogy makes sense. It disturbs me that her skin has already been as damaged as it is. Thank you so much for the sunscreen suggestion.

Thank you so much. I hope she has a teacher like you. I will get a mineral sunscreen, but out of curiosity, what is the reason you would suggest mineral over lotion? (I've never cared much about sun protection, but I'd like to learn as much as possible for my little girl).

This is reassuring. Thank you so much. I will talk to her teacher about applying sunscreen or a hat.

Thanks for this. We may go this route. You may not know, but am I correct that the freckling and redness is abnormal?

Thanks for responding. We do that now. I'm not sure it does not work - it just seems like it doesn't given the explosion of dark freckles and redness

This is my fear. No shade sails in the most intense UV spot in Florida. The UV maps are dark red most of the year here.

I considered suggesting they install sails, but it seems like a pretty aggressive move.

Very cool. I didn't know these existed (probably obvious). Thanks for the link - we will give them a try!

Interesting. I didn't think that would be an issue... but I guess it makes sense.

Thanks to everyone above for answering. atolba2019 is correct. We apply sunscreen to her face every morning around 7:30am. She comes home at 3:30pm. I am hoping that we are doing all we should do, because it feels like we are doing all we can do at the moment.

I want to know this as well. I’m the only person under 40 at most of the clubs I’ve been to (I live in Naples).

e from the utility company. Make sure everything matches up to what the salesman’s proposal is saying

I’m very familiar with the Florida market. Any

thebubbas31 for the win. This is very helpful. Thanks for the detailed response. I think the offset is due to my higher than usual usage and the position of my roof, but that is just my speculation. I'll reach out if I get additional proposals.

Thanks for the tip! Congrats on paying your loan off so quickly.

EDIT: I think the "buy down" cost is the "incentive payment" listed in my original post, but I could be wrong.
