Consuming Kids - Commercialisation of Childhood

Recently the ABC showed a documentary titled 'Consuming Kids, the Commercialisation of Childhood'. This show was well worth viewing for anyone that has children or works with children as it gives an insight into how aggressively children are marketed and how young children are targeted to be brand aware. It gives an insight into how children are viewed and how the marketing is researched and even how the parents factor into the equation.
Shows such as these are another resource we have available to us to understand the world in which we live and the pace in which it is changing along with the place children have in the society in which we work.

Network Gathering September 17

Mark your diary now for the next Kid's Vision Network gathering to be held on Thursday September 17 at Pages Cafe inside Koorong. We are looking forward to sharing together over a cuppa along with reviewing resources available to us beginning at 10-00am.

Our network gatherings provide an invaluable opportunity to get to know other children's pastors and workers and to be an encouragement to one another.
