🧒 Introduction

As temperatures rise across Birgunj, Delhi, and surrounding regions, it becomes vital for parents and schools to prioritize the health and hydration of children. Summer brings fun and outdoor activities, but also risks like heat exhaustion, dehydration, fainting during assemblies, and more.

At Moonlight English Boarding School, Birgunj, we observe how some children—especially those in younger grades—struggle during intense heatwaves. This blog is designed to help parents, caregivers, and educators better prepare children for the summer season.

🌞 Why Is Summer Safety Important for School-Going Kids?

Young children are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses due to their smaller body size and developing immune systems. Without proper care, high temperatures can cause:

• Dehydration

• Heat rashes

• Dizziness or fainting

• Loss of appetite

• Headaches or fatigue

Children often forget to drink water during class or while playing. Make hydration fun and frequent by:

• Packing an insulated water bottle daily

• Adding slices of lemon or mint for taste

• Setting a timer or reminder for sipping water every 30–45 minutes

• Offering coconut water or homemade electrolyte drinks

• Avoiding sugary soda or packaged juices

➡️ Pro Tip: Dehydration is a major cause of fainting during morning assemblies. Encourage kids to drink a full glass of water before heading out.
