I thought I would bring this debate up again as I think its a very good debate.
I dont think advertisements aimed at children for toys, trainers, ect should be put on prime time tv. I understand that all manufacturers have things to sell, but they should realise that these kids are going to nag and beg until they get it.
Theres a lot of parents who cannot afford to buy children the lastest toy every week or month and theres a lot parents who feel that even though they cant afford it, they have to buy it or that makes them a bad parent.
My mum and dad could afford to do that when i was little, but they chose to say no to me, and i believe they taught me a very good lesson, in that you dont have to have everything right there and then, and waiting is a good thing. I always got bigger things from Christmas and Birthdays like Nita says, and i believe this has brought me up to appreciate the value of things. :grin:
