Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
