Why is it important?

This questions the extent of pester power and finds more co-operation and negotiation between parents and children in the supermarket as young consumers become more involved in the family food decisions.

Perspectives

This is a small exploratory study that recognises the importance of the child's perspective and concurs with findings form Danish studies (Gram 21014).
