Abstract

Today, children are socialized as consumers at a younger age than any previous generation (Ekström, 2007). Dual working households and one-parent families can result in parents having less time, which creates a need for the child to play a larger role in household responsibilities, including making consumer decisions (Harper, Dewar, & Diack, 2003). The rapid pace of technological growth often leaves children savvier than their parents.
