Humans can lose up to two pounds overnight through sweat and respiration. Smaller children lose less fluids, but the percentage of water loss is still significant. When children are dehydrated, their physical performance and cognitive ability are negatively impacted. Therefore, kids head to school unprepared to learn or play. This is why it\u2019s so important to stay hydrated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why drink water?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Water makes up 60% of our bodies, which means it\u2019s imperative to stay hydrated in order for our bodies to function properly. For example, our brain is made up of 80% water, making water one of the primary tools for neurological transmissions. Without the necessary amount of water, both you and your child\u2019s abilities to focus, absorb and regurgitate information greatly decrease when you are thirsty. When engaging in physical activity, your child loses even more water through perspiration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep it interesting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sometimes, children are a bit hesitant when it comes to drinking anything other than sugar-filled juice or soda. Luckily, there are a few great ways for parents to encourage their kids to <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.parents.com\/kids\/safety\/outdoor\/keeping-kids-hydrated\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stay hydrated all day long<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Using colorful, fun straws or adding frozen slices of fruit to keep your drink cool are simple ways to make water more enticing for your preschooler.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The exact amount of water each child needs varies greatly due to factors such as age, weight, gender, and the amount of daily physical activity they do. However, it is best to aim for six to eight glasses of water each day. Remember to keep a water bottle on hand at all times on hot, exercise-filled days so your child has a hydrating option to turn to when feeling thirsty. Your best bet is to begin and end every day with a glass of water, and always encourage your children to stay hydrated.
