Sippy cups can cause speech problems. Our Ped told us, as our kids were approaching 18 months to start weening them off the sippy cup. DS was in a preschool program at that age and all the kids drank water from Dixie cups -- they did not allow sippy cups.S (age 27 mos) is currently in the Toddler I room, which has kids ranging in age from about 18 mos. to 2 1/2 depending on their developmental abilities. They allow sippy cups, straw cups, whatever the parents bring in. The Toddler II room, which most kids move into at 2 1/2, uses open cups only.
So how do you apply total water recommendations to your kid's day? As a rule of thumb, to get enough water, your child or teen should drink at least six to eight cups of water a day and eat the recommended number of servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Also, pay special attention to your child's or teen's water consumption when he or she is physically active. Before, during and after any physical activity, kids need to drink plenty of water, especially in hot weather. The goal is to drink a half cup to two cups of water every 15 to 20 minutes while exercising.
