I think that’s just movies - kids just wouldn’t like coffee because it’s bitter. No one I’ve known has said kids can’t have coffee, just recognize they won’t like it.
Hell, my father let me taste his coffee and beer when I was 5-ish because I was curious. I disliked the coffee completely, but the beer had something…
I stumbled on liking coffee in my 20’s.
Edit: caffeine effects people differently. As a young adult caffeine wouldn’t keep me from sleeping, today if I have coffee late in the day it may impact my sleep. A sibling can’t have any caffeine after lunch or it definitely messes with sleep.
