It is very important that parents choose what products their children should or should not use themselves, because they care about the health and growth of their children more than anyone else. So I believe that advertising directly towards children at very young age, should be banned. I feel this way for the following reasons:
First, some TV commercials would intrigue kids to force their parents to purchase those advertised items for them, while their parents would not approve of those products. They are doubtful about whether it would be suitable for them or not, but because of the child's persistence, finally they would eventually buy those inappropriate items. For example, my 5 years old cousin saw a commercial about an electrical car toy, and he begged his parents for months to buy him that car. His parents knew that it might be a hazardous toy for a 5 year old boy, but they couldn’t bear the constant nagging and finally, they gave up and spent a fortune on that toy car and gave it to him as his birthday present. After few days, he fell off the car and seriously injured himself. So this experience taught me that how badly these advertising can effect young children and the awful subsequences they can bring to the families.
Second, children tend to like whatever we represent to them, but they get so bored after playing them for a while.so parents can choose toys that not only entertain their child for a long time, but also can be educational for them. For example, we bought an educational package for my little brother that would teach him the names of animals and trees, building and so many other things through colorful images. This package contained a lot of intentional games that would entertain him, as well as teaching him new things and improving his intelligence. However, we always see commercials about packages similar to the one we bought but with such a lower quality and watching them on TV might have made him to stick to the worse version and not to want to play with the better one.
In conclusion, whether the commercials on TV provide good and appropriate products for children or not, it is much better for kids that their parents select the toys for them. Attracting kids to some specific items through TV advertising might result in some bad experiences.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:

para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.

So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:

reasons == advantages or

reasons == disadvantages

for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.

or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
