Buy Buy Baby

In this groundbreaking book, Thomas pinpoints a dangerous economic and cultural shift: kids are becoming consumers at alarmingly young ages and are suffering all the problems of rampant consumerism usually faced by adults - from anxiety and hyper-competitiveness to depression. As a parent and business journalist, author Susan Gregory Thomas is uniquely qualified to write on this subject. She shows how we can help our kids live at their natural pace, not by TV schedules or advertisement soundbites. Buy, Buy Baby helps us fight the power marketeers wield by exposing the false fears and desires they spread in order to make a profit from our children.
