Staying hydrated keeps your child's body and mind running efficiently, especially as the weather is warming up. Here’s how much water is recommended for kids to drink at each age (amounts may vary by individual).

Make drinking water fun by letting your child pick out and decorate their own water bottle or adding fruit slices to flavor water naturally. Remember to be a good role model by staying hydrated yourself as well!

Kids may need to drink more water when they are exercising or when temperatures are high. Look out for signs of dehydration such as dry lips, lightheadedness, cramps, and dark or less urine. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to us!

Keep cell phones and computers in a common room in the house, rather than in your child's bedroom. Set clear rules about internet usage and utilize parental controls on devices.

Remind your child to never share personal information or photos with strangers online, and talk with your child frequently about their online activities. Encourage your child to tell you immediately if they experience anything online that makes them feel uneasy.
