This has been referred to as "pester" power.

Generally, the kids pester their folks to give calorie-thick sustenance, yet kids who find out about well-being from their instructor or medical caretaker can pester the other way, to play outside, to join a games group, etcetera. The development of the issue of pester Power is specifically identified with the ascent of child advertising.
