Highland Spring is one of those brands who like to highlight the benefits of healthy hydration, especially for kids. When back-to-school comes, it’s always a worry for us parents, to know if our kids have had enough to drink or not. It’s not as if we can tag along after then during the school day, and mark up what they’ve had to drink.
As a parent, I tend to think that under hydrated children get grumpy. I doubt there is much in the way of evidence, but I know how I feel if I’m thirsty.
Highland Spring says:
When you’re 100% hydrated, you’re much more likely to be on top of your game – mentally, physically and emotionally.
I’d have to say, that I very much agree with that.
With back-to-school season just past, it’s the perfect time to encourage kids to give every day their all, with the help of great hydration.
Highland Spring ran a #BravebyNature project, which was all about that natural drive in children to let nothing get in their way and for us parents to help our kids stay naturally hydrated enough to wield it.
That’s why Highland Spring is one of your most important #TermTimeEssentials right now.
For me, I have a special needs boy, whose idea of fluid has to come in flavoured varieties.
To get him to be #BravebyNature, I tend to mix it with other things. it could be diluting juice, or fresh orange or strawberry, or anything I can get him to drink, that isn’t just sugar in a glass.
Water is actually great for lunch bags though, so at school, it’s a bit of a no brainer.
Our schools do pretty well and will remove fizzy drinks from the kids, and ask for parents to send in healthy options. At our local secondary, the kids are allowed to take in water for their desks, but aren’t allowed any other drinks. It’s a positive step for hydration.
From Highland Spring, I learned that staying well hydrated can boost attention by almost 25%. Its even nicer when you know the plain natural source water you’re giving drawn from organic land in Scotland’s beautiful Ochil Hills!
Where do you get your hydration from?
Thanks to Highland Spring for our water.
