When my child (5) was learning about commercials, I explained that they are a company's way of trying to convince you to buy something. A lot of times they are misleading or don't tell the whole story, so you shouldn't believe what you see in an advertisement.

We have yet to have been hit by a "daddy buy me X" plea based on TV ads. We did get them based on simply seeing things on a shelf in a store, so it's not that the child is immune to this sort of desire.
