Do you think it is safe to give thera-flu in smaller or diluted quantities to children (ages 2, 3, & 4)?
If not why not?
If so, what would be your recommended dosage?

No. It's formulated for adults and childrens bodies cannot process the medication the same way we can. Call your doctor and see what he would prescribe whether it be something over the counter or prescription.

cold and flu medications are not recommended for children. Like YR stated, NEVER give children something that does not have a recommended dose for children. Children's dosages are calculated by weight, not always age.
