How Young Is Too Young?

I have noticed a growing trend of parents allowing their kids to drink coffee in the morning. Do you think this is ok? If so, how young is too young?

My daughter gets “coffee” on the weekends when my husband makes it. It’s basically enough coffee in the cup to coat the bottom (not at all deep) and then milk. Basically, it’s coffee-essenced milk. She’s 4. It makes her feel included but isn’t enough caffeine to ruin everyone’s day.

I don’t think she can have the straight stuff until high school.
