The growing trend nowadays is to take a bunch of children and throw them in a reality show. The channel achieves TRP and the children , supposedly, become wiser. But is it helping?? We see children skipping their exams to act. Some of them are so small they can't even speak the dialogues......Is it right on the part of the channel concerned and the parents of these children??? what do u say guys???

I think by making story of soaps around children is good. It create chance for those little ones who want to be a part of that world. When they act in front of camera from the childhood they familiarize themselves in that environment in short period of time which is good for their future. But as you are saying they are skipping their exams and it affect their education then some limitations should be added to these soaps timing so that they can cover their education plus they can take advantage of this opportunity.

This is definitely a wrong trend because child's future is in stake due to greed of parents and producers.Child actors are not able to get proper education because of the shooting.
