“These are often children of celebrities who develop lucrative partnerships with brands to maximize engagement and ‘selling power,'” Dr. Catherine Archer said.
The kids boast thousands of followers on Instagram, with Pixie having her account before she was 2, and her brother’s coming even earlier, when he turned 1, according to the paper.
Archer analyzed the children’s posts from March to July 2022, noting the different hashtags they used and toy brands they mentioned. “High-end adult products such as make-up, cars and clothes for ‘dressing-up’ are being promoted by stealth, alongside more traditional toys.” “Gendered marketing of toys and increased focus on appearance for girls through Instagram can be harmful to children’s self-esteem, and there are concerns regarding the continued commodification of childhood,” Archer said.
