Two Great Booklets for Parents!
Tips for Parenting in a Commercial Culture
 This 32-page guide is full of info and contains practical, hands-on tips for parents on how to raise healthy children in our highly commercial culture. The purpose of this booklet is to give adults a greater understanding of what children face today, and to offer resources to help parents and concerned citizens band together to protect children from intrusive and harmful advertising.
"In America today, children are identified as consumers from birth on. They are targeted for increasingly sophisticated marketing campaigns and sold soda, candy, and video games that are designed to make money, not to produce healthy, wholesome, and emotionally sturdy children. This booklet helps parents protect their children from consumerism and connect their families to more meaningful experiences. In short, it helps parents give their children childhoods."
- Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia
