It’s simple but true:  if you always have cool, refreshing water to offer consistently, your kids will drink more of it.  Pack a chilled bottle for your child whenever you are out and about, and keep a favorite cup filled and ready to go in the fridge at home.  Ask them regularly to take a few sips, even if they claim not to be thirsty.  Odds are, once they take a sip, they’ll take a drink.  The perceived freshness and flavor of the water can matter, though.  Schools usually have lots of water fountains, but many kids refuse to drink from them because the fountains are deemed “gross” or the water “tastes yucky.”  Schools that replace fountains with “drinking stations” for refillable bottles tend to see an increase in student hydration.  If your home tap water has “off” flavors or odors, consider a filtration system.  And keep the offered water cold—it is always more appealing that way. You can also offer your child small ice chips, particularly if they are resistant to drinking water. Ice chips helps hydrate children, especially on hot days, and many kids enjoy the sensation of ice chips in their mouth. Going “cold turkey” by pitching all your soda and juice and stocking your fridge with just water and milk may work for some families, but it is likely to cause a backlash for most.  Gradually increasing the amount of water consumed while gradually decreasing the consumption of sugary beverages usually works best in changing drinking behaviors without a major upheaval.  Require your child to drink a bit of water before they can have soda, juice, or another beverage.  Over time, this will make it easier to switch to just drinking the water. Dilute juices and other drinks with increasing amounts of water.  Eventually, you can offer just slightly-flavored water—with lemon or lime wedges, for instance—if necessary.  Transform fruits into something meant to be eaten, not drunk as juice. When your kid is thirsty after playtime, and the options include water, milk, and…water, they are likely to drink water.  Slowly but surely eliminating other drink options will help make water the automatic choice for meals and when thirsty.  Of course, this probably means everyone in the family (including you) has to buy into these limited drink options.  This is a good thing, though, because drinking water is just as good for you as it is for your kids.  If ditching soda and other drinks completely is too much to ask for your family, you can try setting an allowance of 1 soda per week, or making it an occasional “out of the house” only treat. The same principle holds true in schools and other settings as well:  when there are fewer drink options other than water, kids will drink more water. You may assume that your kids won’t understand or care why they are being prompted to drink more water, but give them a chance.  Kids are by nature curious, and are probably more likely to accept (or at least tolerate) a change if you can give them a better reason than “because I said so.” Give your kid the basic information in a manner appropriate to their age.  Explain that their bodies are mostly water, require a consistent supply of water to function properly, and that the best way to hydrate the body is to consume plain water.  Show them nutritional guides on sodas, juices, and over beverages, listing the number of calories and sugars in those drinks, and discuss the problems with consuming too many of these.  Tell that them that drinking lots of water is one of the easiest and best ways to look and feel alert, energetic, and healthy. Convincing your kids to drink more water is not typically a “do as I say, not as I do” situation.  They learn by watching you, and are more likely to embrace the change if they see you doing the same — especially once you have explained how important it is to make water the beverage of choice. When you go out to eat, ask for water for the entire family to set a good example and encourage your child to drink water.

summary: Make water available at all times. Change habits gradually. Limit other options. Explain the change. Set a good example.
