CONSUMER ISSUES. How to bring up children in a commercial world is a kitchen-table conversation across Britain. The vast majority of parents feel uncertain as to how to act - where to say 'yes' and when to say 'no'. There's a sense of unease. But how worried should we really be? This book will shock you. It shows how, more than ever before, and perhaps more than anywhere else in the world, our children are being tracked and targeted by big business, which sells them back their dreams, packages their childhood and exploits their vulnerabilities. It looks at why children torture their Barbies, how boys feel about David Beckham, why mums are cooler than dads, why children in the toughest families make the most ardent consumers and why, above all, too much marketing makes you unhappy. It is essential reading for all parents and anyone interested in the broader implications of the runaway commercial world we live in.
