>>> NOW NO TEARS WHEN THEY CRY.
MAYBE THEIR EYES LOOK A LITTLE
SUNKEN.
IF YOU HAVE HAVE AN INFANT, THE
SOFT SPOT ON THEIR HEAD CAN LOOK
SUNKEN.
LOOK FOR ANY DROWSINESS OR
DISNEYNESS AS WELL.
JOINING ME NOW IS BETH GRANGER
WITH WAYS TO BEAT THE HEAT BARLY
FOR OUR LITTLE ONES THEY DON'T
ALWAYS KNOW WHY THEY'RE NOT
FEELING WELL AND CAN'T TELL US.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, GOOD MORNING
TO YOU.
MY CHILDREN ARE TERRIBLE ABOUT
DRINKING WATER.
ARE THERE SOME WAY THAT WE CAN
KIND OF ENCOURAGE THEM?
YOU LOOK AT THIS WATER BOT THAL
YOU BROUGHT IN AND THINK HERE
YOU GIVE IT TO THEM, NOW, YOU
KNOW, DRINK ALL OF THAT IN 15
MINUTES AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
RESPOND TO THAT.
>>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE HAVE TO GET CREATIVE WHEN WE
I HAVE TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN FROM
GETTING DEHYDRATED FOUR GULP
EVERY 15 MINUTES.
EVERY 15 MINUTES JUST KIND OF,
YOU KNOW, YOU KINDS OF BE THE
GATEKEEPER AND REMINDS THEM,
COME ON OVER, TAKE A QUICK SIP,
COUPLE GULPS OF WATER.
>> Jennifer: FRUIT IT CAN HELP
HYDRATE THEM BUT ALSO IMPORTANT
THAT THEY GET SALT BELIEVE IT OR
NOT BECAUSE YOU THINK SALT WOULD
MAKE THEM THIRSTIER.
>> CORRECT.
YOU REALLY WANT TO REPLENISH THE
ELECTROLITS TO HELP WITH THE
DEHYDRATING THE BODY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF DIFFERENT
OPTIONS YOU CAN HAVE, DIRT
FRUIT, STRAWBERRIES, ORANGES
APPLES, BANANA, PRETZLS, GIDSUR
KIDS LIKE GOLDFISH, CHEESE
STICKS ANY OF THOSE TO REPLENISH
THE BODY WITH THE SODIUM AND
POTASSIUM.
>> WE'RE TALK ABOUT KIDS BEING
OUTSIDE.
IS THERE A AMOUNT OF TIME THAT
IS TOO LOCK?
I KNOW I PROBABLY PACKED THREE
OR FOUR WATER BOTTLES FOR MY SON
THIS WEEK BECAUSE HE WAS YOIT
SIDE PLAYING 10IS FROM 9 UNTIL
NOON.
YOU KNOW, THOSE KIND OF
ACTIVITIES YOU REALLY NEED TO
PAY ATTENTION TO OR EVEN A
SHORTER AMOUNTS OF TIME
CONSIDERING THE HEAT.
>>> YOU DO WANT TO CONSIDER THE
TEMPERATURE AND HOW MUCH YOU'RE
OUTSITE AND THAT MEANS THAT
REVERY, YOU KNOW, HOUR YOU'RE
CONSUMING THE GULP, EVERY 35 TO
45 MINUTES YOU'RE GETTING SNACKS
IN AND HALF OF THE CONSUMPTION
OF FLUID IS WATER AND OTHER IS
100% FRUIT JUICE, A SMOOTHIE,
SOMETHING THAT AGAIN WILL HELP
REPLENISH THOSE ELECTROLITS THE
LONGER THEY STAY OUT.
>>> INTERESTING YOU SAY THAT MY
MEET TRITION HAS ALWAYS TOLD ME,
ONLY GIVE THE KIDS WATER OR MILK
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS WHEN IT
COMES TO DEHYDRATION YOU MAY
NEED TO MIX IN THINGS THAT MIGHT
NOT LES -- THAT HAVE MORE SUGAR
THAN THEM THAN PERHAPS THAN WE
WOULD LIKE.
>>> NATURAL SUGAR, YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.
>>> SOIO GURT IS A GOOD SOLUTION
AS WELT IN TERMS OF FIGHTING
DEHYDRATION.
>>> EVERYONE FIRST DOES THINK OF
LIQUID JUST ADDING IN FOODS AND
LOW GURT IS ONE OF THOSE IT IS
PART BECAUSE IT IS GOING THE BE
FUN.
YOUR TALKING ABOUT WITH YOUR
SON, HOW DO YOU GET THEM TO
DRINK THE WATER AND TO KEEP
HYDRATED SOME OF THESE IDEAS OF
MAKING HOME-MADE POPSICLES OR
HOME-MADE SMOOTHIES OR HAVING
PRE-MADE YOGURT, THEY'RE GOING
TO BE MORE LIKELY TO CONSUME
THOSE.
>> Jennifer: IT IS INTERESTING
BECAUSE SOME OF THE NOTES THAT
WE WERE CHATTING ABOUT IS THAT
YOU COULD TAKE SOME FRUIT, FOR
EXAMPLE, AND FREEZE THEM AND USE
THAT.
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE, I'M ONE
OF THEM, I JUST DON'T LIKE THE
TASTE OF WATER.
SO IF YOU CAN KIND OF, YOU KNOW,
ADD A LITTLE TASTE TO IT BY
FREEZING FRUIT, THAT MIGHT BE A
GOOD IDEA.
>>> THE OTHER IDEA IS MAYBE
TAKING LIKE A SELZER WATER AND
PUTTING HALF FRUIT JUICE AND
HALF FRUIT JUICE.
FELT.
>>> SOMETIMES KIDS TURN TO
CARBONATED DRINKS.
DO THESE WORK IN TERMS OF
DEHYDRATION.
>>> YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM
CARBONATED DRINKST BECAUSE IF
YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF FLUIDS YOU DON'T WANT
TO SUPPLEMENT WITH A
NONNUTRITIOUS SUGARY DRINK.
IF YOU CAN STICK WITH LIKE YOU
WERE SAYING THE WATER, THE MILK
THE 100% FRUIT JUICE.
>>> DOESN'T THAT MAKE THEM
THIRSTIER?
THAT IS WHEY ALWAYS HEARD.
THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTION.
SOMETIMES WE THINK ABOUT
REMEMBERING TO PUT THE SUNSCREEN
ON AND HATS AND EVERYTHING,
ANOTHER IMPORTANT PART HERE IN
TERMS OF BEATING THE HEAT IS
MAKING SURE THEY STAY HYDRATED
AND THESE ARE EASY WAYS TO DO
THAT.
APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE THIS
MORNING.
