Why are kids at increased risk of dehydration?  TOP

Children get hotter during exercise because they don't sweat as much as adults, so they're unable to adequately cool their bodies.Thirst lags behind water loss. By the time kids feel    thirsty, they may already be dehydrated.

School-aged children and athletes are especially vulnerable to dehydration when playing in hot, humid weather or for prolonged periods of time.
Tips for keeping kids hydrated.
Make refreshing cool water easily accessible, such  as Nova cooler in your kitchen, or bottled Nova water  in your fridge.
Remind kids to take frequent breaks during activities and have cold water.
