Well, I think at times advertising aimed at children could be beneficial to parents, but it might also pose some threats at times. For example, advertisements aimed at promoting toys and fancy gadgets that children use to play could have a negative impact on families who do not earn enough money or who are not able to afford such fancy gadgets and products. Whereas some useful advertising, such as diapers and other items that children could use, would be acceptable.
