Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation.
