It's that time of the year again. While you're busy getting your child ready for school to begin, you could find yourself worrying about all kinds of things. Like, whether your child is drinking enough water at school.

The start of a school year can be a stressful time for parents. As you check school books and last minute supplies off your shopping list, make sure to take care of your child's water needs as well.

Here are a few tips to help you out:

Since your home is the source of your family's daily drinking water, that's where you should start. Choosing a Reverse Osmosis filter can make all the difference to your family's health and well-being. That's because an RO reduces most of the chemical and biological contaminants commonly found in water.

Culligan's top of the line RO filter systems helps reduce most of the contaminants that other filters miss. And they offer fresh, clean drinking water on tap, so you don't have to worry about your family's daily water needs. If you have questions, be sure to call your local Culligan water expert.

Your child's school may have water fountains, but nothing beats having a water bottle handy with cool, fresh water from home.

Plus, there's a growing concern around the rise in lead levels in school water systems due to older plumbing. So, for peace of mind, make sure your child always carries a bottle with RO filtered water from home.

Most backpacks have special pockets just for carrying bottles, keeping them accessible and out of the way at the same time. Perfect for kids, right? Adding that to your shopping list is something you won't regret.

Little ones misplace their bottles often. It's a common concern with school kids. Not having a bottle handy could make children forget to drink water. And that in turn, could lead to the risk of dehydration. So, stock up on those water bottles so your kids don't go without water, even for a day.

Children can easily forget to drink water when they're busy with school, sports and other activities. Combined, these can cause their body to lose much of its water content through sweat. Fresh juices and beverages are great alternatives, but water is always the best bet.

Overall, it's important that you encourage your kids to drink plenty of water regularly so that they get in the habit. Making them prioritize their health can make your life easy.

With everything taken care of, especially something as important as water, going back to school can be an enjoyable experience for both children and parents.
