How much water should my child drink each day?
Getting Enough Water
Since the human body is approximately two-thirds water, it is very important for kids (and adults) to replace what is used in a day. Young kids who don't drink enough water may suffer from fatigue or constipation. To combat dehydration, have your child drink 8 ounces of water for every 250 calories consumed. If your child takes in 1500 calories a day, that means at least 6 cups.
