By Andrea Delbanco Editor in Chief, TIME for Kids Keen and regular readers will remember I had a kidney stone last month (my first, and hopefully my last). Let’s just say these stones have a bad reputation for a reason. After five weeks, I’m finally feeling like myself again, only more anxious about hydration, having been ordered to drink an ambitious volume of water per day. This necessitates mindfulness and behavior change, but it’s a simple task that has countless health benefits.  Hot weather makes this an even more urgent priority for everyone. I recommend a piece written this week by Jamie Friedlander Serrano that explores best practices for hydration, a surprisingly complex topic. She explains why we need to pay special attention to children and the elderly, and how to do so. Please read “How Much Water Should You Drink When It’s Hot Outside?” and join me on my mission to beat the heat. Write to me about anything, anytime, at andrea@time.com. Best, Andrea
