* Infuse water with fresh fruit and herbs to make it more enticing. Some good ideas are lemons and limes, cucumbers, and strawberry and mint.
* Water down apple or grape juice if they aren’t interested in drinking water.
* Get your kid a travel bottle for water that they are excited to use.
* Invest in some reusable plastic or stainless steel straws to make drinking more fun.
* Use an ice tray with fun shapes to make ice. You can even add items like food coloring or edible flowers to make them more interesting!
* Try offering a drink with electrolytes, such as Gatorade or Pedialyte, especially if they are sick or dehydrated.
* Give them some warm decaffeinated tea, such as chamomile.
* Milk is also good for keeping a kid hydrated.
* Try feeding them broths or soups for a warm and comforting way to get some liquids.
* Popsicles or gelatin are also good ways to keep kids who don’t like to drink water or juice hydrated.
* In addition to liquids, give your kid water-heavy fruit such as watermelon, strawberries, cantaloupe, and oranges.
* Create a reminder system (such as a chart) for getting enough fluids throughout the day. Keep it at eye level so your kid can see it.
