Fluids

[melleemac]

For the last few years the hospital has told me that the boys should be drinking 8oz of fluid every hour, wether they feel thirsty or not. I send the boys to school with juice and also a water bottle, but over the last couple of weeks they have been bringing the water bottles home not even opened. I asked the school if they have been allowed to take their water to class and they all said yes. How do I get them to drink more! Apparently once in a while the teacher said they get a drink from the water fountain, which we have always taught them NOT to do. Help!
