Children of any age should consume enough liquid, be it water, juices, compotes. A sufficient amount of water in the child's body solves problems such as constipation, loss of moisture during overheating, during an illness with a fever, etc. If the child does not drink liquids, then this can threaten dehydration, which is very dangerous for health.
Necessary
- - ice mold
- - cups for making ice cream
- - tubules
- - a set of containers of different shapes and volumes
- - matches
- - children's cooler
Instructions
Step 1
Pour juice, compote, or just water into ice cube trays. It is desirable that the shape of the ice floes turns out to be interesting, perhaps it will be fish or other funny figures. If the ice itself does not interest the child, then invite him to play a cat who is hungry and eats fish with pleasure. Also, use special ice cream molds to make frozen juice on a stick, which is only suitable if the child is healthy and you are not afraid to chill his throat.
Step 2
To give the child water, offer him different containers: large and small mugs, glasses, bottles. Change containers throughout the day to keep you interested. Children often start drinking liquids just because the process itself becomes fun.
Step 3
If the child does not drink liquid, but loves to role-play, give him a straw and offer to play a bumblebee or a butterfly that drinks nectar from such a long nose. The liquid can be poured into the same ice molds or simply poured into a mug, saucer.
Step 4
Another way to give a child water is to play firefighters with him. Light the matches, and the child will put out the fire by taking water in his mouth and blowing jets into the match. So part of the water will be swallowed, and the baby will be happy with the game.
Step 5
Buy a kid's cooler. It does not take up much space and is often made in the form of a flamboyant cartoon character. The child can pour water on his own at any time. It is possible that the process itself, the invented legend about the animal, in the form of which the cooler is made, will please the child and motivate him to drink more often.
