* 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.
