What Parents Need to Know
About Platinum Babies
Parents need to know that this series follows soon-to-be parents who spend extraordinary amounts of money on high-end baby products and services. The moms- and dads-to-be clearly love their babies, but the show's focus is really on how much they're spending on A-list celebrity designers and planners and brands like Juicy Couture, Ecologie, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and more. Kids probably won't be clamoring to see this, but expectant and/or new parents may find it interesting in a guilty-pleasure way.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the messages that are sent when the media features parents spending massive amounts of money on their children. Is this kind of behavior realistic? Appropriate?
- Kids: Do you think parents have to spend this kind of money to show their love? Parents: What kind of messages does this spending behavior send to children?
- What's the goal of shows that feature people spending huge amounts of money on luxuries? Is it to showcase the products and services being purchased? Or is it the "fantasy factor"?
