Being A Child Actor And A Kid At The Same Time.
I think sometimes as parents we tend to live vicariously through the lives of our children.
This can either be a good or a bad thing. The key I have noticed is balance.
Take for instance our little niece, who is only 6 years old, but is already an accomplished child actor.
Her mother was approached a while back by a friend of hers who happened to cast children in bit roles for commercials.
Well, to make a long story short, she excelled in these bit parts and has since moved on to larger roles with the community theatre and other production houses.
We just hope our in-laws allow her to be a kid.
