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!
