Moms Talk: Caffeine for Kids?

Caffeine seems to be everywhere — in desserts, water, coffee and sodas. Many of the products are appealing to children as well like caffeinated potato chips, mints, cereal and even sunflower seeds.

In the Journal of Pediatrics, a study showed 5- to 7- year-olds are consuming the same amount of caffeine as adults in some cases.

On www.parentdish.com, Mary Beth Sammons writes about how much caffeine kids consume every day and the affects it has on children.

So, in today's Mom Talk we want to know if you manage your child's caffeine intake? Do you think caffeine is harmful to children and sleeping patterns?

Do you allow your children to consume caffeinated beverages or snacks?
