Jacob Tremblay reflects on his gratitude to being able to balance his acting career while also going to public school. ⭐️

It’s not an easy feat, through his parents, his school, studio teachers, & Jacob’s hard work, he felt he was able to have a normal, good, and balanced childhood, which is how every child actor choosing to grow up in this industry should feel. With a solid support system, this can become the new norm for minor performers.

As Saoisre Ronan takes on a new role as a teacher in Bad Apples with a class full of young performers, she takes the time to reflect on her experience as a child actor, citing her mother as never leaving her side (all the way up until 19!) which made her feel incredibly safe in her environment.

Not just her mother, but her supportive surrounding extended to directors and the adult actors on set which made the biggest difference, especially when she was taking on lead roles at such a young age. Her security and confidence stemmed from the constant support and protection of those around her.

Saorise’s journey is one we want to help all child actors have and continue to have. These experiences should become the norm, not ones of rarity and relief.

Jacob Trembaly rose to fame at just 9 years old in the hit psychological drama film, Room. Now at 19 years old, he leads Netflix’s Unabomber, playing 16 year old Ted Kaczynski.

When asked if being thrust into the spotlight at such a young age helped him navigate this role, he made an incredible comparison in how being the youngest person in the room can be a great experience (as he had growing up) with a safe & trusting support system versus the dangerous effects of not having an environment at that age where youth can be taken advantage of.

This conversation is a crucial reminder in continuing to make sure children are constantly surrounded in a safe space (on or off set) and how it can impact the person they grow up to be.

Mia Talerico who began her career at just 11 months old on Good Luck Charlie, is all grown up and graduating high school! She took the time to speak about how she hopes her career grows in the future, her dream college, and how her family’s encouragement helped her navigate taking a step back from the spotlight to focus on her education fully without becoming completely burnt out.

These are conversations that should be encouraged with your children in the industry, never ignored. Mia is able to experience the best of both worlds without compromising herself thanks to the constant support provided by her family.

It doesn’t have to be school OR this career, it can be both. ⭐️

From Zathura to Hunger Games, Josh Hutcherson talks about his childhood as an actor ( he started at just 9 years old!) and looks back on his upbringing with a sweet appreciation still to this day.

It’s nice to hear positive reflections and how that curiousity and playfulness he had growing up in the industry has continued into his adult career. ⭐️

We love seeing actors speak openly about the importance of protecting young performers on set!

Adria Arjuna talks about building a close bond with her on-screen daughter, Blake Kennedy, making sure she felt safe and protected while filming scenes involving tactical and physical training.

Preparation and safety go hand in hand with scenes like these. Having experienced adults who are looking out for the child’s well-being makes such a meaningful difference. ⭐️
