kids drinking coffee

Kids should not drink coffee.It is not good for health.Even elders should avoid coffee.Tea is comparitively better than coffee.Every body knows that coffee contains cafine which is not good for health.

I think hes ready to drink coffee i started when i was 10 and now im 15 i dontthink it will hurt him but as long as he only drins 1 cup but 2 or 3 might not be to good.

There is nothing wrong with kids drinking coffee just as long they dont drink more that a cup. When my kids were young they drank it too. Now my grandson that is 9 loves coffee. When he come to my house he always drinks a cup with the flavored milk in it. My husband and I drink coffee every day in the morning in the afternoon and in the evening.We like our coffee.

I am not a parent yet, so I don't officially have any kids to give coffee too. But remisniscing back into the olden days, I remember my parents gave me the freedom to choose why type of beverage that I wanted to drink for myself. I remember I first took coffee when I was about 9 years old. I tend to like the coffee aroma a lot, and I drank coffee about twice or thrice a week in the mornings before going to school. Honestly speaking, I don't think coffee will have any bad side effects on kids if they drink coffee moderately, and it is the parents' responsibility to ensure that their kids don't "overdrink" coffee. I never encountered any problems drinking coffee as a child, so I guess it should be an OK thing to do. But if you want to restrict your child from coffee, make sure you have a strong reason to do that.

Hey hey Hey hey when i was a kid i always wanted to drink coffee like my parents and when i tried it i didnt like it all that much . yep so much milk and sugar . and then when i was in high school like a jr i would once in awhile have a black cup of it and then they had this flavor things at the store and that tasted more like a cocoa . I only started when i moved out of my parents house and it is the first thing i start my day with and just love and adore . i think for kids it is okay in very small doses .

HAha when i was like 8 i started to drink coffee i love it!

Hello! coffee actually is not bad.My three year old grandson never drinks milk.Instead he always demand coffee,not even tea.In our house nobdy drinks coffee.But he had drunk offee once or twice in some friend's house and he got the taste of it always drink coffee in the morning with saly biscuits.Ofcourse we give him just a bit of coffee powder in a cup of milk.That ofcourse has helped him to prevent from cold and cough.So allow your son with mild dose of coffee powder in a cup of milk.thanx.

I started drinking coffee at 4, courtesy of my grandmother, who let me put whatever sugar or milk into it I wanted. I am at this moment missing my usual morning cup...

Unless your child has a problem handling caffeine I wouldn't worry about it. Both of my kids used to pick up my coffee cup and drink it and when they got old enough to ask for it I gave it to them within limits. I never had any problems and thy are both adults now and yes the both are coffee drinkers. I would rather have them drinking coffee than overloading on soda.

My boys never drank coffee when they were younger.I did let them have some tea now and then for dipping.They liked dipping their toast in the tea and they loved dipping cookies.

my kids are 11 and 9 years old, but i dont let them drink coffee, and just like you, since im a coffee lover, my daughter asks me if she could have a sip, and as her mother i dont let her but my husband wanted her to have a sip, but since im in their presence, they dont stand a chance... :)

what my gran used to do with me is add sugar and a little bit of coffee to sum milk. then she used to microwave it until it was just the right temperature to drink. this makes a really milky drink but still has the taste of coffee. if you dont want to give him coffee at all, you just pretend that he has got the smae as what you have got, if that would work

Some childrens drink other than milk.. It"s nothing wrong in it.. One or two cup's ok.. My son Drinked Tea, Coffee at 2 years.

i do not know if it is harm to kids to have coffee.maybe it is not good for them,so it is better for them to drink little

I don't think decaf coffee is as bad as sodas(colas)for children. After all it does have antioxidants in it which sodas don't. You can add cream and a small amount of sugar and it is as good as hot chocolate. without all the carbs. I sometimes add the powdered hot chocolate to my coffee to make a cup of mocha. It's not the coffee that is bad for the kids its the caffeine and they drink that in tea and sodas. I would give it to my kids if they had wanted to drink it but my children never wanted it. My grandson likes it with the chocolate in it but he doesn't drink it often because his mom nor dad like to drink coffee so they never make it. I do when I visit them but I use decaf. Funny how a cup of coffee can make a kid feel and even act more grown up. Guess they think it's for grown-ups only... Have a nice cup of java and relax on those cold days of winter coming up.

I personally dont see a problem with children drinking a little coffee, he may get a little hyper. My 3 kids have all tried coffee. they are 14, 16 and 20 now but they were younger when they tried it. They are all healthy. Of course if you dont think your son is old enough you shouldnt let him drink it.

oh man, this is a tough one for me to answer bc I don't have kids of my own, but I do have a cousin who'se just about to turn 12, and if your kid was my own, I'd smack him and tell him that he's not allowed to drink that. You should know better than to give coffee to an 11 year old. First of all I find coffee quite addictive, and if he asks for it, I'm thinking he must really like the taste and smell of it, so that's a plus on getting him hooked on it. I'm close to being 23, and I love coffee, but out of principle I avoid it, bc it only has harmful effects on you and your body. If you let him keep it up, he'll end up like my uncle who goes in withdrawls if he has less than 10 cups a day. Read online about the effects of caffeine at an early age, and simply sit hom down and explain these things to him.

i dont have any kids yet but when i was a kid i started drinking coffee when i was 12 and my mother didnt really care if i drank it or not but they say that it will stop you from growing to you height thats not true my doctor when i was little said i would grow to be about 5.11 to 6.1 and i ended up 6.1 so its up to you in the end your the mother you have final say what he drinks

I am a kid by the way. And i don't drink coffee much. Maybe once in two months but that's all. Don't give coffee to your son once every week! That's crazy! He's only 11 years old and he can get high sugar. Trust me its not good. I like the taste too but I try my best to avoid it. You should do the same. Plus the caffeine in the coffee is not good at all. See ya!!!
