Do modern parent see coffee for kids as “in” now?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 6th, 2012

When I was a kid coffee was in the realm of adults like liquor. Parents would not serve us kids coffee and we were discouraged from partaking of any. These days with iced coffees like Double Choco Moca Lattes with whip and extra caramel drizzle, etc, they seem more like milkshakes than coffee, and while at upscale coffee houses (such as the one with the green logo with a woman with a star crown) parents buy these for their kids, or you see the kids get them on the way to middle and high school. So is coffee for kids “in” now, that it is OK, or has no health risk for kids? When I was a kid we were told to avoid coffee because all the caffeine was bad for us. Maybe it was just brewed coffee, and iced coffees or better?
