The best practice is to discuss this with your child's health care practitioner but the reputable sites and the USDA suggest about 25mg - 45mg of Vitamin C is adequate for children. If your child's diet consists of a variety of fruits and vegetables then they may already be getting enough Vitamin C and do not require supplements.
Here is a link to the USDA - Food and Nutrition Board, National Academy of Sciences, National Research Council list of Vitamins and Supplement recommendations for children.
From personal experience it was difficult to find supplements that had such low levels of Vitamin C but we did find one finally, a product by Floradix called Kindervidal which has many different vitamins and minerals including 25mg Vitamin C. We just simply mix it in with our child`s water or juice every morning.

You can find Vitamin C in Whole foods or similar health stores, I don't think 25mg is enough for a child. I would do more research on it. Adults need over 1000mg a day. It's not harmful, only will give you diarrhea if you take too much for your system. All you need to do is take less until it stops and you find the proper dose for yourself.
