Uh… I have a coke.
Johnny - make it a six-pack and we’ll talk about my sister…
I’m wondering why other kids LIKE coffee. The smell of it is enough to send me running for the hills. Hot drinks really aren’t for me. Maybe when I’m older…but now…yech…
As others have mentioned, there are plenty of other sources of caffeine. No need to be deprived. 
It just happens that coffee is the best (imho) method of ingestion. Now run along and slam down that 16 oz. can of Jolt.
Peace,

Get this: my wife gives my 2 yr old a few sips of coffee every morning! I’m not wild about, but I can’t see that’s it’s going to hurt him.
As far as controlling caffiene, christ, what’s next. We are becoming a nation of absolute pussies…
