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.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
