I am against children working. But in the Harry Potter movies, the children grew up just fine. I do hope that they did not lose their normal childhood. More children are coming out to try their luck in entertainment. Must we really make the children work?

Honestly, I really don't mind having the kids work since it builds character, discipline and such for the child plus it gives them the chance to buy stuff for themselves and realize the value of hard work and money.
Although I am not totally against children going into the entertainment business I feel like it is important to make sure that the children doesn't miss out on their childhood and that they are kept firmly rooted to the ground, and that they are guided by their parents all the way with love, care and discipline as well.

I know of very few people who were able to go through that. Most of the children had become wasted by the time they reach 20.

I think it is a good idea to let children work if they want to. I don't think they should be forced to work I think it should be a choice. I think it also depends on the age of the child. It just gets them ready for the real world.

According to psychology, children couldn't make choices yet. They do not know the world and life itself aside from the kid stuff. Most of the children who work early on had already missed the important phase of childhood. They just grew up to fast.
