I'll admit Thingamababy generally does nothing for me. I've been practicing this kind of stuff for ten years. We don't have tv at home (tho my kids to get to watch way more of it than I like). We don't go to the mall for fun. My kids know that I don't buy "character stuff," not even spongebob spinach. When something catches their eye, we talk about it. I'm not saying I'm perfect and have all the answers (because I know I don't), I just don't see anything new here....
Sorry, my gripe is with Thingamababy and the "holier than thou" vibe that I get from them and not with you....should've posted this there not here.
It's good to start educating kids right away about advertising. I remember taking a quarter long elective in 7th grade on advertising that really opened my eyes for the first time. I also realized that my father - a small business owner - wasn't very good at it!
