“As a parent there's plenty you need to think about when sending your child off to school - but what about how much water they're drinking? If your child is struggling to pay attention or is feeling fatigued, you might want to check in on how much water they are drinking during the day. Hydration is incredibly important for energy and focus, so you want to make sure your little one is getting enough.

“Start the day off well by sending him or her off to school with a water bottle full of nice, crisp filtered water. Encourage them to finish it and refill it necessary. Find out whether their school has a water cooler or fountain where they can regularly take sips of water from and explain that if ever they are feeling tired or listless they can take a couple of sips of water to see if it helps. It can help to discuss the concept of hydration in simple terms. If your child knows drinking water is likely to make their body and mind feel better, they'll be much more inclined to reach for that water bottle. Sometimes, if a child isn't drinking enough water, it's due to the taste and a preference for more flavoursome beverages such as fizzy drink. Obviously this is to be avoided, because regular consumption of sugary drinks can lead to a raft of health problems such as tooth decay
“Try to jazz up the flavour of water instead, by adding sliced or crushed fruit. You can also play with exciting drink bottles and shaped ice cubes to make drinking water as exciting as possible for your young one. If you are really struggling to get your child to keep their hydration levels up, speak to their teacher about this being encouraged at school.” (Excerpt from a Blog on the Clearwater Filters website) which can be found at http://www.clearwaterfilters.com.au.
