Child actors. Is it right?
Thu, 24 July 2003, 11:15 amHello,
I am doing a research assignment on child actors. If you could possibly answer these questions and email them to me it would be so much help. Please note: Your email address and name will be kept confidentail. The only other person who may see this information is my teacher. For more info please email at - jassy_jase@yahoo.com
Q1:
Do you believe its right for mothers to push their children, some as young as 2 into modeling and talent agency's?
Q2:
At what age do you belive children should be allowed to work in the arts industry?
Q3:
Do you think it's right for theatre companies to use children to rope in profit. Eg. Annie, Oliver, Sound of Music.
Q4:
Should we wipe out child performing all together in television/theatre. Allowing only children from 15 onwards to enter this field?
Q5:
In your own opinion, what is a normal childhood?
Thank you for your time,
Jason Triggs.

Child Actors? What about children who play sport? What about Tiger Woods? He started at a young age? There are no complaints about his parents being pushy, even thought they introduced him to the sport. What about parents who start teaching their kids before they can even talk just so they can have a smart child? You can't cover children in cotton wool, and not expose them to anything in the world for a fear of being pushy. Some parents over do it, for sure. But it's not just in the entertainment industry, and you can't punish children by withholding them from what they enjoy, just because of a minority of pushy parents.
