Importance Of Water For Children

Post by momotayeasmin » Wed Jun 10, 2015 9:00 pm

Explain why is water an important daily requirement for children?
Water has many important roles in the body. It helps transport nutrients, maintains blood volume, regulated body temperature and removes waste products. It is very important for children to drink enough fluid so their body can function properly and they can feel their best. Children with special needs may have difficulty drinking or letting others know they are thirsty. Saliva loss can also increase the amount of fluid required each day.

QUESTION 2 (B)

What is the recommended water intake per day for Toddlers?
120ml/kg/day(for example, a child weighing 10kg should have approximately
1200ml/day)
QUESTION 2 (C)

What is the recommended water intake per day for Pre -schoolers?
1000-1500ml minimum/day (may require more).
IS IT CORRECT?
