We got messaged today from daycare asking if it was okay to give our kid pop (more specifically, Sprite and/or Root beer). Message also included that teacher told the kids first they needed every parents approval.
What age is appropriate for pop (soda, or whatever you may call it) and why on earth would you say something to 4 and 5 year olds first then go and ask the parents if it’s okay.
I replied no right away.
