There are many ways in which you can encourage your child to enjoy water, and get into the habit of drinking water daily:
- Drink plain water in front of your children and show your child that you’re choosing to drink water and be positive about it– you are also likely to feel better for it! - Repeated tastings of water may help children to develop a taste for water
- Drink plain water as an integral part of mealtimes, with a jug or bottle being placed in the centre of the table
- Have fun with water! Drink out of different tumblers and bottles, use a straw, add slices of fruit, different shaped ice cubes or even ice cubes with a hint of crushed herbs such as mint

The sooner they get into the habit of staying well hydrated, the more likely they are to continue this as they grow up. Discover our kids’ bottle formats with colours to make water fun – learn more here.
