It may not be "our" normal, but even then, what psychological, social or emotional mechanism occur for developmental interference to happen? In other words, could you elaborate? It would be interesting to see how they turn out in the next 10 years or so.lucysmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10611079988227357679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-50450727576505352452010-05-16T14:22:26.622-04:002010-05-16T14:22:26.622-04:00SG said A child actor is portraying a character.

Many people think that the person playing the character really is the character. Actors receive hate mail when they play a villian and people are offended when they see an actor that plays a "good guy" smoking outside of a night club during their down time. I know for myself I sometimes get caught thinking one way about an actor or tv personality and then catch a glimpse of who they truly are.fascinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099813452627907863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-87718579139963172652010-05-16T13:44:11.118-04:002010-05-16T13:44:11.118-04:00SchmeckyGirl~ this site is for the entire Gosselin...SchmeckyGirl~ this site is for the entire Gosselin family and that includes Jon. I would not remove him entirely from the site. If he dies anything newsworthy of course I would continue to post about it. However the logo is dated and it looks to newcomers like an old blog. My new logo will be "Kate Plus 8" and this site will gear more towards that including old photos of Jon & Kate will be removed. New starts are something to get excited about. Keep the blog from getting stale & keeping it relevant. Usually my site spikes as well. I look forward to getting excited about the new shows!The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-64820874404439313442010-05-16T13:18:04.891-04:002010-05-16T13:18:04.891-04:00Baby Mama,

Birth to 2 yrs. is when the brain starts absorbing sights, sounds, and even smells. <br />Language development is on going from birth also.<br />------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Good point. I actually keep forgetting how intrusive the cameras and camera men are. They are very close to the children when filming. It's so different when you see a documentary and they are filming wild animals. The camera men are not right in the mother lion's and cubs' faces when filming. They are so far away.<br /><br />I do think the cameras and camera men can interfere with their development. I think it's sad that people say "But they are used to it, that's how they grew up." It doesn't make it right.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-4868302880217424542010-05-16T13:07:18.477-04:002010-05-16T13:07:18.477-04:00fascinated said...

A child actor is portraying a character. I've never confused the two. As for a child actor's parents, I can only think of Lindsay Lohan's mother and father, and I don't know much about either of them, although I do think they both seem like fame whores from what little I know.<br /><br />Actually, I see actors in interviews, etc and I still don't think I know "who they are" because I'm never sure if they are still in acting mode.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242806259961125116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-627036975837432322010-05-16T10:07:41.048-04:002010-05-16T10:07:41.048-04:00Good morning everyone! What a beautiful Sunday! I ...Good morning everyone! What a beautiful Sunday! I hope you all go out a take a deep breath of that not so hot fresh air. It's brisk here, but I'm forced to sit at the park with a mlion strangers because my baby is hitting the terrible 2's early. Temper tantrums, potty issues, the works. I wad thinking about when I started this blog I had just given birth. I was struggling with being a parent again after a big lasps and I spent every day sick in bed watching Jon&Kate Plus 8. That show helped ne get through so much. Sitting on this park bench I'm amazed at all that has changed when I started this blog almost 2 years ago.<br /><br />With that being said, I pit the logo back only because I was having problems spacing the smaller mock bootleg "Kate Plus 8" one. Lol I wrote TLC in the hopes that I can get a brand new logo for the show but they don't have one yet. As soon ad they do I will change it. I don't want my site to look dated like this blog is about an old show!<br /><br />ZiggyFlo~ I am the worst at new templates! I had a fit when another fan site popped up taking absolutely every photo and copying the template to look exactly like mine to draw in readers. My problem lies with me having so much in here I need to keep the template as simple as possible. Hense the general Blogger one that people seem to choose. I wad debating trying again in the hopes of more readers now that the shows starting up again. I love what you have done so far and I'm jealous! <br /><br />For anyone that hadn't entered the peaceliveworld contest on the previous post, today is the LAST day! Enter to win one of 5 cool kids tees in sizes 2-12. I just got mine in the mail and they are incredibly well made. Even if you don't have a child I'm sure you know one! I'm sorry to everyone that emailed me that wanted to enter but couldn't. I wasn't taking Anon post and the contest is only for my readers with Accounts thY can post! Hopefully I can do more contests once the show starts. New fresh vanilla paper this afternoon when I get home, I promise!

Finally figured out this eve. the avatars only don't work in IE. Am still figuring out how to do editing of template. Sometimes I mess up and have to restore previous template. That might be why you didn't show up when you signed up.<br /><br />I agree there should be laws and regulations in place. I'm not against that at all. I think Kate is probably a very responsible parent in all regards, but there are parents who wouldn't be . <br /><br />And I think there should be strict regulations regarding the paps. Just because one has choosen to be in the media, TV, movies, whatever, doesn't give the paps the right, when that person is simply trying to go about their own life, to run and stick a camera in their face. And I think the paps using zoom lens should be outlawed. I've felt this way for a long time, even before the Gosselin issue.ZiggyFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601453971247724629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-8982649976229783902010-05-16T08:12:37.275-04:002010-05-16T08:12:37.275-04:00BM - Best I can figure is because I defended Kate ...BM - Best I can figure is because I defended Kate so strongly and I warned them on the DWTS board that the flood of Kate haters would show up and nearly ruin their board.<br /><br />I had run across the 'handle' BabyMamma before, but didn't have an idea, I thought it was either someone banned from GWOP or who the haters actually thought Kate was.ZiggyFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601453971247724629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-47388067763475641532010-05-16T07:04:37.236-04:002010-05-16T07:04:37.236-04:00Wow, am I surprized to see that heading back!!!

Anyway happy to have you here!<br /><br />Facinated~ when I write I write fast and click post before I get a chance to catch myself. I have no problems with people making a mistake with spelling. The trolls use it as a means to make fun of someone and it goes to show what complete morons they are. Just because they double or triple check something or have spell check doesn't make them any smarter or more articulate. There are some that literally spend hours on this site looking for me to spell something wrong on my post and try to grab it before I can correct it. Sad and disturbing. <br /><br />My computer is new and trying to figure out the kinks. If someone could explain to me why my old home computer has auto spell check and this new one doesn't I would appreciate it. Is there a button I need to set so I wont have to start smacking the trolls back over the bridge for their giggle fest? I'm going to figure this one out tonight! ;)The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-78783082658751773342010-05-15T20:35:17.011-04:002010-05-15T20:35:17.011-04:00hahaha, and some apparently use the wrong word whe...hahaha, and some apparently use the wrong word when trying to express their thoughts.

Each of us grow up with issues.<br /><br />Often we are going by our own assumptions of what we believe because most of us have never met any of them. Even if we get to know them, we again have our own assumptions of what happens behind closed doors.<br /><br />The argument is mute because there are so many variables that will affect how the Gosselin children mature and learn about life.<br /><br />I think what brings us together is that we can relate to some of what we see, we don’t relate to some of what we see, and we have the opportunity to find what we believe and value in all of it. <br /><br />This is the beauty of art, books, television, or movies, we can view the lives, either fictional, pseudo-reality, or raw truth, of others and reflect on our own. Some judge, some understand, and some continue to seek truth.fascinatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099813452627907863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-33565635275472551142010-05-15T18:32:01.726-04:002010-05-15T18:32:01.726-04:00Hmmm Ziggy...I wonder why they won't work?

I really want Kate's show A Twist of Kate to come out of the box with at least a more balanced view of Kate.<br /><br />Now, if I can get the avatars on my blog to work like here. I've tried about 6 different codes & none of them work on my template! But it sure looks sharp. <br /><br />On topic - I see littel difference between child actors and child reality show participants. IMO, if one bans one, they should ban the other.ZiggyFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601453971247724629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-59665072773591290262010-05-15T13:52:41.999-04:002010-05-15T13:52:41.999-04:00Thanks for translating everyone!!!Thanks for translating everyone!!!tiggerfan1965https://www.blogger.com/profile/04189520385480240014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1914552682332144225.post-69191060682970393952010-05-15T13:06:22.273-04:002010-05-15T13:06:22.273-04:00Hey Ziggy!
