Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation.
