Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate.
