Here’s what other people have said about Parents for Ethical Marketing and Corporate Babysitter:

It’s really nice to know that there is a group out there that cares about how marketing affects children. It makes me really happy that there is a resource . . . . My dream is to have my children grow up with the capacity to look past stuff to find what life is really all about. . . . I’m so glad your site is out there. . . . — Jennifer Gniadecki, Beyond Mom

This week’s episode is with Ariah Fine interviewing Lisa Ray from the blog Corporate Babysitter. Ariah and Lisa talk about ethics and marketing and consumerism and how they’re all intertwined in a system geared towards influencing our children. If you’re a parent, want to be a parent, expecting to be a parent . . . I wouldn’t miss this episode for anything. – The Nick and Josh Podcast

I can’t sing the praises of Corporate Babysitter enough. If you’re not already, you would enjoy Lisa’s column . . . . Blue Milk

As parents, we have seen the effects that these products have on our children and families. We get tired of saying no, get tired of answering Why? Why can’t I? And then we get grouchy, and our children get grouchy. And the cycle continues. Well, Lisa has gone one step further . . . . She has created a non-profit organization called Parents for Ethical Marketing. . . . Parenting Tips at NeenMachine.com
