The amount of heating required depends on the extent of polarization. More polarization required less energy, the smaller the positive ion is, the higher the charge density, and the greater effect it will have on the hydroxide ion. As the positive ions get larger down the group. They affect on the hydroxide ions. Therefore, the hydroxides become more thermally stable down the group.
