Here is one effect. A research was conducted on the consumption of junk food after the bombardment of television commercials. The consumption |
of the junk food had increased tremendously after the advertising of the respected products. Children also had a perception that by eating junk food they would be in the shape that the models were in the AD. The eating almost doubled which is not at all a good symptom for the kids in terms of health and habits. Parents need to have control on what the kids watch or should the advertising be stopped or given some other time frame to be showcased on TV, or should the message be simple, keeping in mind as to what will not spoil or change the kids perception or just pose rules and regulations for the companies to advertise their products. A lot can be thought and said but come what may, it is giving a major impact on young minds and making them think differently. These advertisements are making them demanding and act over mature for their age which is leading them to perform immature actions. Forceful persuasion makes the parents to most of the times buy their desired things. If not it leads to a quarrel. Emotional aspects play a vital role here, as most of the parents cannot see their children upset because they did not get something they saw on TV. However, these ads are making them materialistic and altering their attitude in a wrong manner, which will indirectly make them demanding and stubborn in the future.

The use of children in advertising products such as ‘cars’, drives their minds in getting the best in the market or the advertisement they like the best. Car being a |
luxury need not always be possible for every home to get it. Ads carve out such a significant change in the children’s mind that they rack their parents’ brains by chewing up their brain cells for the car that was shown in the ad. The arent might feel at that time either to shoot the ad maker, the product, or least break the TV. However, in reality, they end up either buying the car or raise a war much bigger and tougher to win with their kid than a world war.
