How to Get Your Kid to Drink More Water
When a child is at play, he’s seriously at work. And when he’s at work, he doesn’t want to be disturbed- definitely not by his mom forcing him to drink a glass of water.
We moms, of course, know that water is beneficial to our kids’ bodies, as water helps keep the body hydrated and moves nutrients around the body. But when kids are busy fiddling with their e books, you can hardly do anything to make them go for a water break. So, how can we get them to drink more water?
Try putting some lemon slices in a pitcher of water to give it a bit of a taste. Keep it in the fridge, as kids may prefer drinking it cold.
Use glasses or drinking bottles in their favorite cartoon character, so they will find the idea of drinking water more appealing.
You can try encouraging them to eat watermelons, or other fruits with high water content.
More importantly, you should set a good example and drink water yourself. Stay away from soda.
