Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation.
