Hydration tips for children
Two thirds of our bodies are made up of water. Being dehydrated can cause poor sports performance, tiredness, headaches and crankiness — and it can lead to serious medical problems.
Signs your child could be dehydrated include:
-dizziness or light-headedness
-nausea
-a headache
-dark yellow or brown urine
-dry lips, tongue, mouth or throat
What does your child need?
Water is the best choice for children. Avoid sports drinks, fruit juices, soft drinks and flavoured mineral waters since they all contain sugar and are acidic, which can lead to tooth decay.
The recommended daily intake of water for children is:
-5 to 8 years old: 5 glasses (1 litre)
-9 to 12 years old: 7 glasses (1.5 litres)
-13 years old and over: 8 to 10 glasses (2 litres)
Children need even more water when they are exercising.
Your child should drink before, during and after physical activity — even if they aren’t thirsty.
