Week 28: Be kind to your kids...

Tony and I don’t have kids but for those of you that do, I don’t want to alarm you but have you considered –

• Clothing: don’t put your kids in any clothing that contains PVC but use natural colours ( www.bao-bab.co.uk)
• Skin care: avoid using products that contain foaming agents, parabens or aluminium, or which may ‘bio-accumulate’ in childrens bodies over time (www.earthlets.co.uk)
• Food: avoid processed foods and keep pesticides out of their diet by buying and home cooking organic wherever possible
• Toys: again avoid PVC and other plastics that are liable to give off gas from volatile chemicals and by toys made with natural materials

It is scary stuff but legislation and a marketers job is to educate you about these things to help you make an informed decision.
