When it comes to your child’s health, hydration might not always be the first thing you think of - but it can play a vital role; From energy and focus to mood and behaviour, staying properly hydrated can be key in how children feel and function throughout the day. Children are more prone to dehydration than adults. They tend to get caught up in playing or learning, may not recognise the signs of thirst, and often won’t reach for a drink without a reminder. 

Spotting the signs: Early dehydration in children

Mild dehydration in children can be easy to miss, especially after a busy day at school, time outdoors or physical activity. According to Contemporary Pediatrics, some of the early signs to look out for include*:

• Flushed skin or overheating
• Headaches or struggling to concentrate
• Seeming tired, grumpy or less focused after school
• Rarely asking for a drink, despite drinking very little
• Dry mouth, lips or tongue
• Darker urine or fewer toilet visits
• Low energy or fatigue
