Hydration for children Young children have a higher proportion of body water than adults. They are also less heat tolerant and may be more likely to get dehydrated, especially when being physically active and in hot climates. Encouraging children to drink fluids regularly is important as children may not remember to have a drink by themselves.

Dehydration Dehydration means your body loses more fluids than you take in. If it's not treated, it can get worse and become a serious problem.
