“Hydration Isn’t Just About Water Bottles”

Children don’t always recognise when they’re thirsty -
but dehydration can affect everything from mood to concentration to toilet health.

🧠 Even mild dehydration can impact attention, memory, and learning.
🚽 It’s a common cause of constipation and bladder issues in school-age children.
😣 It can show up as tiredness, irritability, or headaches - not just thirst.

💡 Simple ways to help:

Offer water before they ask
Make it visible and easy to access
Use straws, stickers, or coloured bottles for little ones
Offer juicy fruits like melon, cucumber, berries) toward their fluid intake

Hydration isn’t just about bottles - It’s about building habits that stick.
