    Praise for Neopets

    My daughter Wendy and I were interviewed for the article "Pitching It to Kids" [June 28], which addressed the way companies market products to children on game-playing websites like neopets.com . My opinion of Neopets was misconstrued in this report. I do not think Neopets' advertising methods are sneaky. In fact, I think the Neopets site is pretty cool. I do not forbid my daughter to take online surveys, so long as I sit beside her to walk her through them. It is my responsibility to educate my child about advertising. I try to instill a healthy amount of skepticism in her because advertising is everywhere.
