I think giving a kid coffee at a young age is not too bright..... it'll make 'em way too hyper and its not good for their developing hearts - not to mention I heard rumor that it'll stunt their growth

Just goes to show how unpredictable parenting can be. If I had anticipated that my second child would actually LIKE soda, I would have taken a different tack-- like telling her it was an "adults only" beverage.

Heck they drink Coke/pepsi etc and then they not only get similar levels of caffine, but 24 grams of sugar-- ( that is 6 teaspoons per can of coke) ..
If they like the taste and even if they have 2 teaspoons of sugar (8 grams) they are better off than drinking sodas...

Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

I could see a child going into Starbucks and ordering the kid beverages there. No coffee in those or the cream fraps. My only concern would be the calorie intake with the Starbucks and Jamba Juice drinks.

To this day I am a huge fan of coffee, but not the strong, french roast, eat your stomach, kind like in Starbucks and other coffee houses serve. And I absolutely loathe all the sweet concoction coffees.
As a family we had coffee every morning and tea with dinner every evening.
We did not drink much soda.
It did not stunt our growth as my brother is 6'3" and I am 6 feet tall. Though we are now 67 and 70, we are very healthy and NOT overweight. My blood pressure is 120/77 and my pulse is in the low 60's and I have very low cholesterol.
