Understand healthy balanced diets and hydration

Case Study

The weather is forecast to be very hot all week and several of the parents have mentioned they are worried about their children getting dehydrated.
  1. What are the signs of dehydration?
  2. How can you make sure the babies and children are getting enough liquid?
  3. Water is the best choice to keep children hydrated – think of different ways you serve the water to make it appealing while remaining a healthy option.
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
