Water is equally important for children as it is for adults - however is can sometimes be difficult to encourage children to drink water as they often prefer fizzy/sugar based drinks. However, as young bodies can become dehydrated easily and children are more likely to ignore thirst while playing - it is recommended to do as much as possible to encourage your children to drink water more frequently.
Children also have added benefits of drinking water - for example as it provides fluoride it will help their teeth to grow strong and less susceptible to decay.
Encouraging Children To Drink More
Purchase a Slim Cool Filter which will make water more instantly accessible and appealing to children.
If your child refuses to drink plain water, try giving him/her watered-down juice.
Set a good example and drink water yourself instead of sugary drinks.
Try adding a squeeze for fresh lemon or lime to their drink for added flavour.
