Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat.
