Dehydration in Children
How do you keep your children hydrated in the summer months?
Last week we were sitting at baseball in our winter jackets and this week my kids are sitting under a tree with bright red faces complaining it is too hot.
In Minnesota you never know what the weather is going to do. Therefore, parents must always be prepared. As we enter the hot and humid days of summer, one question that comes to a parents’ mind is, “Are my children drinking enough fluids?”
Children sweat more and produce more body heat than an adult. This puts them at a greater risk for becoming dehydrated while they are out in the heat. This is why it is important for parents to be aware of ways to prevent dehydration.
I am thinking of making a batch of Gatorade popsicles just to be prepared.
Tip of the Day:
Read through a couple articles on dehydration before the hot summer temperatures arrive.
