Let's celebrate. Yesterday was winter solstice so the days are now getting longer. Benefits of more daylight include a longer shadow, more time for outdoor play, and for many a less depressed mood.

💧 Keep Kids Hydrated This Winter! ❄️

Even when it’s chilly outside, kids still need plenty of fluids to stay healthy, energized, and feeling their best. Water is always the top choice, but warm drinks like caffeine-free herbal tea, or milk, can help keep little tummies cozy and warm too.

Here are some tips to make hydration fun and easy:

Let kids pick their favorite cup or water bottle – a special cup can make drinking water exciting!

Offer fluids with every meal and snack – build hydration into their daily routine.

Add a splash of fruit juice or fresh fruit slices – natural flavor can encourage them to drink more.

Include hydrating snacks – crunchy veggies like cucumber or celery, and fruits like oranges, grapes, or watermelon, help boost fluid intake while providing vitamins and fiber.

Staying hydrated helps kids fight off germs, maintain energy for school and play, and supports healthy growth-even when it’s cold outside. A little extra attention to fluids this winter can go a long way in keeping your child happy and healthy! 🧡
