Soon to be 7 year old wants coffee at breakfast
My six, soon to be seven-year old, has asked for coffee for breakfast on their birthday. It is something I drink every morning and occasionally share a small sip of, but they were clear they want their own cup, and want it black like I drink it. I mostly think it would be a fun experience, they get to feel a little more grown up sharing an "adult" experience. For that reason, I don't want to dilute it or make it with decaf, since that kind of undermines the point of the experience. Interestingly, Canada has guidelines on caffeine consumption that say 2.5 mg/kg is a reasonable threshold. They are about 30 kg, and a half-cup of coffee gives around 60-80 mg, so maybe a bit higher but it's a one time thing and at worst he's a bit buzzed for an hour. I'd make it clear this is a birthday thing only, and it's back to occasional sips until they turn 8. And yes, I'm prepared to weather some nagging when they ask for it again before then!
Just curious what people's thoughts are on this?
