Children and energy drinks

Mines hyper enough without anything. I barely let her have caffine at all. I'd never let her have an energy drink. She'd be bouncing off the walls.

There is nothing postive about giving a child an energy drink. I would encourage your friend to do some research on what happens to a child if they continue to drink these. It will mess with their sleep patterns and they could even develop addictions and go through withdrawl symptoms. Encourage them to talk to their family doctor too.

I would never do that, my oldest is 7,5 years old and I still don't allow her to have any kind of drink with pop. Only on a holiday or a party she is allowed a little bit. My other 2 are not allowed soda.

energy drinks are hazardous to your health. it can be damaging to anyone's health. it causes diabeties. kids should get energy the natural way by eating and drink right.

Omg! i would have freaked out.and never take my child back over there...that can cause them health problems ... If u have drank a energy drink before.you would know that when u are active it makes your heart beat faster. just imagine what it could do to a small child heart. POSSIBLY THROW THEM INTO A HEART ATTAK? not sure im no dr. but when your heats beats so fast its barley keeping up with itself what happend? your bllood pressure rises.. ugh! i dont even wanna think about it. i think u r wonderful for not letting ur child drink that stuff. i would not want to be in any situation again were my child could get ahold of a drink like that.

Sometimes I found that some parents just don't know hoe to treat their children. They give a child everything he want, including something not good for him. Why they do this? One kind of parents don't know how to refuse, another kind of parents just don't want to make trouble. These things awlays happen, not only energy drinks. It is really difficult to bring up a child in this world.

i agree with you totally that enery drinks are not at all meant for children as they are not as active and their digestive system is also not so well develop to absorb and digest the enery drink.more over enerydrink are also not advisable for the normal people who dont do sternous activities daily

People do the dumbest things with their kids and wonder why the kids are problematic. We have bred the dumbest generation of parents since time began! Excess sugar, any caffeine, any cola, any fizzy drinks and all that crap should NEVER be given to kids as young as four, never mind two... What happened to basic parenting skills?? The trouble is that these dumb parents treat their kids like mini-teenagers by buying them branded trainers, giving them mobile phones and filling them full of coke and red bull. Did you ever see anything more ridiculous that a two-year-old in a pair of 'Nikes'? Give it a few more years and these people will be saying 'I'll give my kid another glass of Brandy if it helps her to sleep!!!' I just realised, I bet there are already people doing that... You are right to treat your child as a child, to be nourished rather than corrupted and poisoned - Later on in life, those kids will be asking their parents 'why did you do that to me??'

Why energy drinks? Why not just give them vitamins? Childrens vitamins are much better than giving them energy drinks. Kids have enough energy why would they need more. My 11 year old asked me to buy him Red Bull from the ice cream truck because he said the ice cream guy won't sell them to kids. I said I would have to see what is in the drink before I do and I left it at that. He didn't ask again thank goodness. He told me one of his friends drinks it. I wonder why his friend would need an energy drink at all. He's a kid that would make him hyper I would guess. In my opinion its not a good idea.

Hello my dear!I think that she give her kids a poison!!First I was so surprise when I saw energy drinks in all ours regular market places!Water, milk and natural juice are drinks healthy for all especially for our children!!You are right and no one have no right to give something to your child that you didn't permit!See you and Regards Silvana

I would never give a child one of those drinks. I don't even drink them myself. They are nothing but a ton of sugar and caffeine. Would you give your child a cup of coffee, or a spoon and a bowl full of sugar? No, so why an energy drink. Children have enough energy to support their activities, they don't need any extra. Not only are these drinks bad, but they cause you to crash when it wears off, and can cause addiction. I wish people would think more carefully about what they give to their children.

Do not mast give energy drinks to chiled because those are into false energy. Is no better for children health.
