Child Stars: Broken Family Dynamics

Alyson Stoner
About this episode

For the FULL story, preorder my memoir “Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything” here: https://bit.ly/semiwelladjusted

Hollywood notoriously rips apart families and relationships, so who would let their child get into such a wild industry? Many parents don’t realize the breadth and depth of responsibilities that befall them, including protecting their child’s image, managing their finances, understanding contracts and labor laws, and ensuring their child has an adequate education. Alyson explains how even the most loving and well-intentioned parents can unknowingly drive their family towards a cliff’s edge.
