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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
