Do your little kids drink soda?

Soda, pop, Coke ... whatever you call it, do you allow younger, elementary-aged kids to drink it?

    My oldest always hated soda. He’d call it “too spicy”. Then in 1st Grade his teacher had a special treat for one of the holidays which included sprite. He was hooked after that. Thanks school.

    My kids get sips of their dad's sometimes, but otherwise, they don't drink soda. I do allow other sweet treats, soda's just on our no-no list.

  • Rarely, my older girls don’t like it at all. My boys always ask for it. We allow soda without caffeine on special occasions.

    We don't keep soda in the house, but allow it on rare occasions when we go out. We've enjoyed our Soda Stream when we're in the mood for something bubbly - the kids like adding apple or grape juice, or lemon and a packet of stevia.

    My son's last teacher was a big Diet Coke fan and always had it around so my son started asking for it to be like her. I let him try it once after a lot of begging but he didn't like it. Unfortunately he has developed a love for Gatorade and that drives me bonkers.

    We're a hard no. I guess I just fear my kids bouncing off the walls hopped up on caffeine & sugar. We'd never recover! :-)

    Not really, though I do allow my older kids to take sips of mine once in a while :)

    We don't have it in the house but do allow it when we're out to eat in a restaurant, as long as there is no caffeine and any refills are water. They usually opt for lemonade but sometimes choose root beer or sprite. I consider it a treat :)

    My oldest two have both tried it and neither of them liked it so that was it.

    Gonna hold off on soda as long as possible! We are mostly seltzer water drinkers anyway so we rarely have it in the house- hopefully that will help!
