[quote=Anonymous]Too much caffeine has been shown to impact growth in children. Also, you want your kids to have a full night's sleep. Having said that, a little caffeine isn't known to hurt children. My son, who has sleep apnea, inattentive ADHD and is always lethargic and tired, doesn't tolerate his meds well. Sometimes he has a cup of coffee in the morning to start off a med-free day. Please talk to the ped about his fatigue: do blood work, including thyroid function and possibility of anemia (my daughter has had off and on anemia since she was little), and consider sleep apnea.
