hello! i believe the answer you are looking for is that this is a true statement. (assuming that the question was true or false).
what commercials advertise to children and how they advertise them for sure have an influence on children. children pick up things and mannerisms as the grow, so if people act certain ways in the commercials, it can potentially cause the children watching the commercials to develop similar attitudes as the people in the commercials.
it can also be as simple as a kid seeing a McDonalds commercial for happy meals, and later being in the car with their parents and seeing and wanting to stop at a McDonalds because they saw it on TV.
in summary: yes, television commercials have an effect on children.
hope this helps and have a great day! please let me know if i made any mistakes in my answer so i can fix them :)
