Answer 4

Answer 5

Regulated servings I do not see a problem but either way giving kids coffee is like using a gallon gasoline to light a campfire.

Answer 6

potentially    it can stunt their growth

Answer 7

i dont think that it is harmfull but its too much caffien for them

Answer 8

I don't think it can do harm, but they for sure do not need all that caffeine

Answer 9

as always, a sensible amount will be fine. However, aside from being a stimulant, caffeine is also a bladder irritant so you will have a hyper child who pees all the time! :-)

Answer 10

I'm not sure it's harmful, but I definitely think they should NOT be allowed to have that! It's just too much for a kid to be drinking coffee. Caffeine isn't good for anyone generally speaking - it's very dehydrating and addictive.
