A group of people called The Good Childhood Inquiry are looking at how kids live their lives. People put advertisements on TVs to offer their prouducts but these experts say that unhealthy ads that includes alcohol should be banned until 9pm. They say that TV channels aiming for kids under 12 should meet these requirements. Penny Nicholls from The Children Society said that "What we do know is that having things doesn't necessarily make you happy, and the thought of not being able to have things often makes people very unhappy," she said. Even though banning advertisements from children TV is only recommended. This rule is very unlikely to happen because they would need to convince the government to make this law. Some people think that this rule is useless because kids will still see the advertisments when watching other shows such as baseball with theirs family. Not everybody agrees with this idea and some say that some of the ads are actually good for their kids.
