Stay Hydrated this Summer: According to consumer studies, children drink more soda, juice and sports drinks than plain water. So, how much water should your child be getting? The best guidelines to follow are based on age, gender and level of activity.

As kids grow, it is recommended they add more water to their diet. By the time a child is 9-13 years of age they should be drinking about 10.5 cups of water.
