How old were your kids when they were allowed to start drinking soda... not a sip off your cup, or dip your finger in and let them taste, im talking "Here's your coke/sprite/mountian dew, dont spill it."  

How old are your kids now, and how often do they get soda?

My 9 year old likes Mt. Dew; she can have one cup a day. My 7 yo tried it, but doesn't like pop...the rest haven't had pop yet. I really try to keep them away from pop as long as I can. They get enough sugary things as it is.

I don't remember when they first started getting soda. We are a fan of "everything in moderation". They drink water 90% of the time. The only time they get soda is if we go out to eat, which may happen once a month. They are 8 and 4. When they Do get soda, its a sprite or root beer.

My kids are ages 14,12,10,7,4 and only allowed soda when we eat out or are guests on others homes. Usually they order sprite, lemonade, or fruit punch lol

I don't know around age 5 ... my kids are now ages 10 and 8, but my twin 2 year olds have not had their own sodas yet. They drink soda about 3 times a week if they want it.

We don't buy it a whole lot in this house and if we do the kids don't get any.
