As for the age of your kids, you might be thinking that they don't require too much water as you do. But you get it all wrong. Age doesn't matter with regards to the amount of water we should be drinking. Both kids and adults need the same amount of water, about one quart for every 1,000 calories they expend. During hot weather, our body needs water as a defense against heat-related diseases like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which often occurs due to lack of high amount of water through perspiration.
