[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So for those that think it's not a good idea, am I being too strict by not allowing this? The poster in the other thread got flamed as too strict for not allowing her teenager soda. I would think this is no better.[/quote] Well, that depends. Who pays for it? Does it interrupt any routine/obligations? Is it a forbidden fruit, so to speak? Is it a daily habit? Or is it an occasional treat? We live on a budget, so that solves the problem right there. Adults in our house get a coffee shop treat about 3x per month. As kids mature I think that having the occasional coffee treat is reasonable as well, until or unless they are independent and choosing to spend their own money on it every day. If a kid really wants to start drinking coffee, allow them to make their own decaf at home and no sugar added. [/quote]
