Is your child warming up this winter with hot chocolate, coffee or tea?

A growing number of kids are choosing a grande chai latte, or similar caffeinated drink, when given a choice.

Although most kids don’t drink coffee until their teen years, younger kids are now choosing caffeinated beverages. Energy drinks are common.

How much caffeine is too much for a child? Research is ongoing, but until studies conclude, decaf is a wise choice for young coffee lovers.
