[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To anyone reading this and getting anxiety because of all of the drama, it’s not that bad. I was so worried about the early start time because of reading this forum, but my son adjusted perfectly fine to the middle school schedule. We were at an ES that started at 9:20 or whatever too. He had to leave at 6:50 to get to school on time. He had a small cup of coffee with breakfast most days and that did help to wake him up. He’s in high school now and totally survived those two years of early waking up lol.[/quote]

You allowed your middle schooler to drink coffee daily to deal with the early wake up times? What a bad habit to start! Caffeine daily isn’t good for kids not to mention the teeth staining and bad breath. Gross.[/quote]

His teeth are very healthy and he’s had one cavity in his whole life. He’s almost 17 now. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a cup of coffee with breakfast. And he brushes his teeth before leaving the house, so no coffee breath.[/quote]

There's zero evidence that the amount of caffeine in a daily cup of coffee is bad for teens.  The only concerns would be is if it exacerbated anxiety, insomnia or digestive issues--which are the same concerns at any age. [/quote]

Teens don’t need to be drinking coffee, sorry. [/quote]

They’re not your kids and you don’t decide what other people’s kids “need” to be doing. Sorry.[/quote]

Don’t worry, PP is just defensive because the know coffee for a 12 is not appropriate.[/quote]
