Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation.

When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
