he type of advertisements focused on the youth market generally take on different forms from standard advertising to adults. Young people are more susceptible to product placements and tie-ins. For example fast food restaurants routinely offer toys connected to popular movies and a number of toy lines are created around successful existing television series. Coca-Cola paid $150,000,000 for the global tie-in marketing rights to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.[6] Advertiser also attempt to disguise ads so that children will spend more time looking at them. Quaker Oatmeal had a series of ads published in 4 children's magazines that appeared to be Popeye comics and the Seventeen Magazine "Ask Loren" column of the 1980s, a supposed beauty advice column, were really ads for Epilady brand products.

Art at this stage of life is something to be done or left alone. Natural development will cease unless a conscious decision is made to improve drawing skills. Students are critically aware of the immaturity of their drawing and are easily discouraged. Lowenfeld's solution is to enlarge their concept of adult art to include non-representational art and art occupations besides painting (architecture, interior design, handcrafts, etc.)
