Did you know that even mild dehydration can affect children’s:

✨ Concentration

✨ Energy

✨ Mood

Kids who are well hydrated are more likely to:

✅ Enjoy their school day!


Why Choose Water?

Water is the healthiest drink — it keeps kids hydrated without sugar or additives.

 

Pack a reusable water bottle in your child’s school bag each day and remind them to refill it.


Drinks to Save for Sometimes

  • Fruit juice 
  • Soft drinks 
  • Sports drinks 
  • Cordials 

These drinks don’t hydrate as well as water and are best saved for special occasions.
