Tips
- To help encourage kids to drink enough water each day, let them choose their own water bottle that they can have with them all day. It can be sipped throughout the day and refilled when needed.
- Take a bottle of water when travelling in the car. This is a good opportunity to rehydrate and pass the time.
- Go to bed with a large glass of water by the bed side which can be drunk as soon as waking up.
