Daniella Monet expresses that she was personally grateful for her experience as a child actor despite acknowledging that the industry is a bubble with norms that would be inappropriate elsewhere.

“there are things that happen every day that you would not fly in another work environment but it's like also part of like the beauty of the industry you become so close with your cast you become a family did you get slime of course awes does it smell good like what is the Slime like”

Child actors are vulnerable to industry pressure and lack of protection because they are easily influenced and often pushed toward fame over their own well-being.

“like no one's no one's really protecting them because they're a star. They don't need protection. And let's go fast forward 10 years. Well, the bar is not open anymore. So now you have people that have been partying and living a certain life for so long”

She believes her personal experience as a child actress was overwhelmingly positive and that she did not miss out on a normal childhood.

“I had the best time ever I mean I was literally playing dress up every single day doing something that I loved something that was so unique and fun and while yeah I didn't have a normal childhood I didn't know any other way and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way”

Andrew Gardner believes child acting puts too much responsibility and pressure on a child whose brain is not yet equipped to handle such attention and power.

“imagine having that much attention that much power like from my experience with her these kids have power over adults right and anybody they come across which is cool but it's quite a responsibility for a child and I think I'm not a doctor or anything but I feel like a child's brain isn't necessaril”

Bradley Steven Perry would not actively encourage his children to become child actors.

“I certainly wouldn't encourage it yeah I think you got to want to do it”

Jake Short believes that if a child were to pursue acting, it must be their own genuine dream and life ambition.

“it has to be your dream it has to be your life you have to commit to it cuz if if you can't you can't have asset”

She argues that the majority of child actors turn out fine and that troubled experiences are not exclusive to the industry.

“my belief is the majority of kids in this industry turn out just fine or even really great a lot of adult actors were child and are really thriving in their careers and a lot of people who were child actors go on to do completely different things”

Working as a child actor in a show with a healthy environment allowed him to maintain a sense of normalcy and balance.

“I'd come out here and do la and then I'd go back and live like the life that I grew up in with my friends in my hometown in public school for half the year and I think that was like a nice balance of both it would really ground me to go back home”
