First thought: learn how to type/speak properly

Second thought: you're an idiot b/c melatonin is a NATURAL chemical/hormone in our body. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking ONE melatonin herbal supplement.  

Wow- I had to do a little research online to answer this one correctly. My gut and heart is like NOOOO, but I don't want to assume anything so I looked up what the age restrictions or guidelines are for melatonin. I've seen ages 16-18 as the jump off point so no, this isn't right. If she's really concerned about her children's sleeping habits and energy levels in excess then she should be talking to a doctor about it. Yes, melatonin is a herbal supplement, but that does not necessarily mean that it's safe for children.

third note IS WORRISOME GIVING A YOUNG CHILD SLEEPING PILLS THATS WHY IM WONDERING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a study of 40 elementary school children without neurologic problems who were experiencing delayed sleep onset found that over the duration of the 4-week study, melatonin was relatively safe and significantly more effective than placebo in advancing sleep onset and increasing sleep. Of note, tests that examined attention span in these children found that, even in those whose sleep improved, measures of attention did not change.

Quoting Nena Of Ny:“ they are a handful all day everyday”

You stated in your OP she gave each one at bed time?
Is it one a day or a handful a day?

I'm not saying I agree with her, but one is a hell of alot different than a handful.
