\"little<\/a>A study found that the majority of children are drinking enough caffeine daily to equal a cup of coffee. The study surveyed 228 children between the ages of five and 13. Researchers, who where attempting to find a correlation between caffeine and bed-wetting, reported that 75 percent of children consume caffeine in the form of caffeinated sodas.<\/p>\n

The study found that the average child between the ages of five and seven drink an average of 52 milligrams if caffeine a day. Even very young children are drinking a considerable amount of caffeinated soda. Slightly older children, ages eight to 12 averaged 109 milligrams of caffeine per day, the same amount that’s found in a cup of drip coffee. This much caffeine could potentially affect a child’s sleep.<\/p>\n

William J. Warzak, a professor of psychology at the University of Nebraska and lead author of the study, said that children do not need caffeine. “You\u2019re not a terrible parent if a kid has a Coke away from home,” he said, but that parents should try to limit their children’s caffeine intake.<\/p>\n
