If you are wanting to jack them up on caffeine, then yes. Other than that, no. Some say it stunts their growth but my son had coffee from the time he was 3 and he's 6'2' now.

No coffee isn't bad for kids it's just better if you give them decaf then caffeinated because caffeinated will probably get them hyper and you don't want hyper children

Coffee has caffeine, a stimulant, in it so you should not give it to kids. Kids have are naturally energetic so they do not really need it.

I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but it is my belief that caffeine is not exactly good for any of us in large amounts. It makes me jittery and unfocused. For kids, I think such a powerful drug would have a stronger effect on them and therefore it would be bad for them, yes.

Coffee - interfere with sleep habits - increase hyperactivity - contribute to dehydrationThese 3 reasons alone is why you should not give coffee to children.

To much, to frequently is bad for kids. With my experience (Drinking Coffee as a child) here is a little chart :Age 1 Through 4 - NONE ARE YOU CRAZY???!!!Age 5 Through 8 - One Vitamin Bottle full 2 months (Max)Age 8 Through 12 - (Age 5 Through 8 Dose with 1 month)Age 13 Through 16 - Once a week (Starbucks cup size)Age 16 Through 18 and beyond - Once every day (Starbucks cup size) WARNING : GOING WAY BEYOND THE LIMIT MAY CAUSE POISONING The reason you shouldn't drink so much coffee is that Caffeine excels heart rate, and gives you a certain amount of energy. A very fast heart rate may cause heart problems. Too much energy, to much difficulty sleeping.

I think it would depend on their age. I wouldn't go around letting a child under the age of 10 drink coffee. After all, if the child's put in a lot of creamer and stuff like that, he could get a sugar rush and that's not cool.My friends, age 13, drink coffee and it settles with them. It shouldn't be that bad for kids, but just be sure the kid isn't..5 years old or something.
