Research has shown that children are susceptible to the many activities, objectives and stimuli within and around their environment. TV adverts constitute one of such stimuli to which they are susceptible. This research study has therefore sought to examine the effects, which the exposure of children to TV adverts does have on them. The study however has some limitations in doing this.
    It did not examine or try to determine the extent or to what degree TV advert affect children.
Among other considerations, the study also did not associate itself with examining the effects, which other communication media such as radio and newspapers do have on children.
    To achieve the aim of this study, four hypotheses relating to the study were formulated and subjected to empirical examination. Consequently, a sample of 200 was selected from Enugu and with this sample the study sought to investigate what actually obtains in the real world; the extent to which the child responds or practices behaviours acquired from watching TV adverts and role of TV adverts in the child’s socialization.
    T o accomplish these onerous task, we adopted the survey research method, with the questionnaire as the measuring instrument with the following procedures guiding.
