Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
