How much water should a 2 year old drink in a day? How about a 4 year old.
My kids never ask for water - or say that they are thristy. I am afraid that they would get dehydrated espically in summer when they are playing outdoors most of the day.
Re: It's HOT - how much water do kids need?
Do they ask for other drinks asides water? I would suggest to keep offering it to them or keep it available, say in a sippy for the 2 yr old & in a water bottle for the 4 year old, and encourage them to drink.

They should drink at least 2-3 cups of water I say. Maybe you can have popsicles or freeze some juice cubes or make lemonade and offer it to them every few hours.
Re: It’s HOT - how much water do kids need?
I have heard that people (i’m assuming kids too) should drink the amount of water thats roughly equal to the ounces that is half the size of their weight…
eg
if they weigh 40 pounds…then they should drink about 20 ounces of water daily
(waise did I explain it right well:hmmm:…you got it naa??
