The amount kids need depends on their age, body size, health, and activity level, plus the weather. Usually, kids drink something with meals and should definitely drink when they're thirsty. But if you're sick, or it's warm out or you're exercising, you'll need more. Be sure to drink some extra water when you're out in warm weather, especially while playing sports or exercising. If your pee is very light yellow, you are well hydrated. When your pee is very dark yellow, it's time to drink up.
