I have a "tween" - a 10 (nearly 11) year old girl. Of course she's influenced by what she sees and hears, and wants cool stuff that her mates have...what kid doesn't?
What I do as her mother is try and influence her decision making process with an element of sensibility and logic. Add to that the fact that I am the one holding the credit card and we have a fairly cluey young kid who doesn't tend to get carried away with the whole marketing thing too much. Works for us.
