I think no. I watched cartoons, saw adverts, and wanted what was on the advert.

Did I get everything I saw on tv? Did I fuck

I remember being obsessed with this art set that was advertised. It was amazing, only cost £49.99. And my mum refused to buy me it, because I didn’t like arty things and whenever she bought me art sets before I never used them

On kids channels, yes. Advertisers rely on the effect it has on kids when they watch.

All it does is create an 'I want, want, want' attitude amongst most kids. In turn, putting parents under pressure to spend money they probably shouldn't. Or they hit the credit route, creating vicious cycles of debt.

But shouldn’t it be down to the parents to tell their children no?

It's easy enough to say no to them. My kids know they won't get that stuff unless it's a birthday or Christmas. And it can be quite handy to get ideas of what presents they would like!

I'd be lost without the adverts tbh, gone are the days when the kids would circle what they wanted from the Argos catalogue, I just wait for the 'aww mum can I have that?!' when they see something they like..... which is everything lol x

Yes as a parent you get really hacked off with your children being drip feed on what they should want or be told what they should want.

Mine wanted a type of cearal after an ad so I got it for them and they didn't like it!

You're quite right, and it's something I shall do with my own child. That said, you see countless tales of debt riddled families who clearly couldn't say no. I think that's the power of seduction that advertising has over some people.

I've brought my two kids up without a television, so much easier and they are both very well rounded and still don't watch it as adults! It's more complicated than just adverts though ...

I believe it's good for kids to want things I think it's even better for parents to say no..

But certain advertising really need looked at such as LEGO where they bring the characters to life with CGI yeah it does nothing.

In today's on demand platforms like Netflix and prime there is no advertising.Problem solved.

Ditch terrestrial.They can still look at the Argos book though..

I agree.

Kids should learn they can't have everything they want. Or they end up as debt ridden adults, incapable of saying no to themselves.

If people took responsibility for themselves it wouldn't be an issue.

Trouble is, if its banned then they wouldn't make money. If they didn't make money, there would be no incentive to make / show programmes.

The options are pay for TV (TV licence / subscription service) or we see adverts.

Hardly watch 'live' TV to be fair, just FF through the ads.

They should be banned. I agree is is down to the parents to say no, but advertisers use dirty underhanded tricks, that are very effective.

Mine aren't too fussed with it all. They're either cbeebies or YouTube though... They've currently made a train with the dining chairs and they're taking turns at being driver and passengers. Not a toy being played with. That's more their usual to be fair.

Eldest has asked for certain things she's seen on YouTube videos and gets some of it at Xmas and birthday (poor lamb, same week) but I don't mind saying no and she doesn't seem to mind hearing it. Hopefully the little ones follow with that!

"Should it be banned on kids tv channels?"

No because the tv station relies on advertising revenue to stay in business (unless it's the BBC). Also the revenue is beneficial to the economy and peoples jobs. Although I do think the content of adverts should be suitable for the target audience of the program.

I personally think that it is down to parents to teach and encourage responsible consumerism.
