Info Post

While growing up, children need role models and mentors. Many times, they look at people who have succeeded in life as reflections of what they want to be in future. Anyone who wants to write a kids book about actors, therefore, must be very careful not to cause development of negative thought about stars among children. If care is not taken, kids might even disregard the acting profession acting.

It must never be assumed by writers that because its kids book, it should not be written with care. As compared to writing for adults, kids book should always be handled with extra caution than all actors featured in these articles should not be made to appear like gods . Actors should always be real.

There are various things writers should put into consideration in the process of writing about actors. These factors include; the type of content, the level of language, the number of pages and realism. These factors should be keenly observed to ensure that the wrong things do not get to the children.

When writing for kids, writers should always ensure that the information exposed to children is not above them; it should be suitable and fit for kids. As most actors engage in immorality and social evils, their personal lives should never be exposed to the kids. Just as personal lives should never be included in writing kids book, some scenes in the actors movies should never be talked about to children as they may too be dirty yet writing about their immoral behavior may encourage or tempt the kids into engaging into those things.

The writer also needs to check his/her language. He/she should avoid use of vulgar words and pictures. Such language usually has a great negative impact on the development of minors. They are also likely to negatively affect the minds of children. They may grow thinking that it is normal to use vulgar language.

It is necessary to write few pages, and not many pages that cannot be read in a single session. This is because the kids do not have highly developed reading capabilities. Writing many pages may prove difficult for them. They will not read such work.

The factors mentioned above should not mislead writers into thinking that they should only write good things about actors for the sake of mentoring children. This kind of thinking may lead them into exaggerating some elements concerning actors just to please the kids. They may even end up portraying them as being supernatural. This is not good for the development of children. They need to see these stars as being realistic and capable of identifying with. They should even be taken through their lives from childhood to adulthood to make these young fellas work hard to be like them.

From this discussion, the conclusion that can be drawn is that writing books for children concerning actors is not a walk in the park as it may appear. Caution must be observed. The information written should suit them in all its aspects. Vulgar elements, hard content and unrealistic descriptions should be eliminated using all possible ways. The language used should also be of their level.
