That's true.
For me, well they can advertise all they want but I do not give in! They can send all the catalogues in the mail week after week and with their sales, I will still not cave in, Unless there is something I need and it happens to be on sale, then I'll buy - if I need it. Actually what I don't like is that you buy something and the following week its on special! with that you can't win
Speak for yourself.
LOL! They haven't come across me
And who's faults that? Why do they have this power? I believe that any educated person who learns advertising and pyschology will also have that power.
If this desciption doesn't put people off, then nothing will, LOL I don't know, I like my McDonald but I don't let them rule me
Ah, well if you know their manipulation and why they are doing it,why fall for it? And is it so hard to leave the room in a commerical break? or just let it fly over your head. I listen but that's just it, only listen I don't fall for any crap, anyway some ads are cool
Ah, again, speak for yourself.
Have done
Have done and do Angel. {the slightly embrassed one because she feels she doesn't fit in with the others who get sucked in} |

Actually, the kids tv programs are not bad here The ABC channel has 2 times deciated to childrens veiwing in the morning and afternoon with stories and educational programs, Play school is the top notch and is Australia's no.1 basically which has been running for 30 years. The commerical channels have early in the morning cartoons till 9am and in the afternoon there are other programs for kids like Hi5 that's my favourite, it beats the wiggles , those 2 are interactive and educational. Parents are the ones in control, not the damn tv stations and advertisers! or McDonalds for that matter. Of course some tv is good and some tv is bad, You as a parent have that choice to make what your kids watch, NO ONE ELSE! And for those parents that complain, I say you only have yourself to blame. You are the Parent/s you are the ones that set the rules and diciplines that your children adheres to, stop complaining and put rules to the tv viewing and/or to anything else. Answer these questions: Who lets them watch tv or watch certain shows? Who lets them eat what they eat and drink? Who lets them have so many choices? Who lets them read what they read? Who tells the kids its bed time? Who tells them to get up in the morning for school? Who tells them to have a bath at night or shower? Who lets them play with toys or certain toys at certain ages? (why?) Who are the one that chooses the clothes they wear? (we all know that kids want to wear summer clothes in winter ) Who disciplines and give guidelines in life? [ well supposedly ;-) ] Angel. |

There would be a lot more home violence if scheduled TV sessions could
not be held daily. All that attention-seeking can drive parents nuts, and the housework will never get done. VCRs, DVRs, interactive websites, games and movies - kids options have never been better. DavidC |

When my kids were small I had NO TV. Later we got a TV but everyone had
to clear programs ahead of time with the others. And hours were
limited.
OK, so I have a guilty pleasure. COPS! I can watch about 15 minutes a week of this. F |

Yes TV have lot benefit for us, even without mentioning this benefits we already used most of our free time in the front of TV. The point here is we have to aware that TV have bad effect specially for our young children. I don't agree that we fully ban our kids from tv (video), but what we need to do is controlling them which program that they can watch. A lot of us as parents, many times make the tv as baby sitter for our kids during our busy work. This habit is the real monster here.
