I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to play Devil's Advocate here. I grew up not liking milk. My brothers drank it by the gallon, but it always made my throat feel like mucous (sp?). I remember at Sunday School they would serve graham crackers and milk, and I asked for water. If the teacher had said "no, you have to drink milk", it would have upset me. I would have been too timid to argue with an authority figure, so I would have had to drink it. The more I envision this scenario, the more it angers me. If that had happened to me, I probably would have cried to mom myself!! Not every kid likes milk. I'm not saying don't offer it to the kids, but if they consistently sip just a little and leave it, or show some kind of signs that they don't like milk, ask the parent about it. I'm in my late 40's and I've never been a milk drinker. Ever.
