Although none of my children are attracted to regular coffee, and they do, however, prefer to sip decaf, most mothers would warn me that coffee is bad for them. They say that it would stunt the growth of our children, and it got me into thinking, does it really?

I have searched around and found that there hasn’t really been much basis about this, and that the only side effect to this is hyperactivity due too so much caffeine intake -so moderation should always be in play.

I guess, the only sensible reason I can find for the stunt in growth is, yes when kids are given too much caffeine, they won’t be able to fall asleep or sleep when they need to, which is a big factor of their growth, and body’s regeneration.
