Thoughts On Marketing To Kids

I know not everyone is as concerned about this as I am, but I thought I would pass this article on.

I prefer that Weapon X watch commercial-free programming when he does watch TV.  Mostly I don't want to deal with begging for cocoa puffs at the grocery store because he saw the commercial 70 times during a 30 minute program.  In the grand scheme, I would like him to make decisions for himself and not feel like he needs everything he sees on TV or online.

We are very wasteful in this country.  I hope we can help him feel content even when he is conserving.

It is ok if you disagree.  Every parent has their own style!
