Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
