Advertisements target children because they are easy to manipulate and build brand loyalty from a young age. The purpose is to attract children and make money by creating an impression that they need a product to feel good about themselves. Common advertising strategies used on children include using toys, celebrities, games, and cartoons to promote products in a fun way. While ads make children aware of new items, they can also encourage unhealthy consumption, teach demanding behavior, and negatively impact children's development if the messages and values promoted are not positive.
