Getting outside in the summer can be great, but sometimes kids can't recognize when they need to drink water or when they're dehydrated. As an adult in their life, it is important to remind them and help them build good hydration habits early in life. Some tips include: - Make sure they have a big drink after any sports activity to make up for any sweat they have lost. - Keep a jug of fresh tap water within reach, and on warm days, keep the jug of water in the fridge. - Send a labelled, clear water bottle with them to school or camp/daycare each day.
