If you’re concerned about giving your children tea to drink, a review on caffeinated drinks has concluded that up to two cups of tea daily may safely be consumed by younger children aged 4, while older school-aged children can consume up to three cups of tea. Tea is an example of a drink providing excellent hydration for children. It makes a tiny contribution to caffeine intakes compared with some caffeinated soft drinks but, when consumed in moderation, is likely to bring benefits associated with mood and cognition without affecting behaviour. When consumed with milk but without sugar, tea also contributes to calcium and flavonoid intakes which has got to be great news for children.
