[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am neither right wing nor a bot but I don't think a 13 year old should be performing on stage in world tours.

If she came on for a few minutes like the younger one did - great. But to be part of the machine that is a full time performer on stage and integrated into the music scene at 13, I think it is too young.

There are too many child stars and young teen musicians who have been turned into working adults at a young age and the power and people around them corrupt them and disrupt their age appropriate development. No matter who her parents are, she is still 13. No matter how adult her body is, her brain is still 13. [/quote]

+1 Thank you for your commonsense post. [/quote]

So, where do you draw the line?  Is it ok for a talented young athlete to perform at elite levels?  In front of audiences? 
Is it ok for a talented singer or musician to play with school groups, regional ensembles and perhaps religious programs— but not with their professional parents?  What are the concerns here?  What’s the magic ok age? And does that vary at all depending on things like the kid’s interests or skills or the level of supervision that can be provided?

I’m thinking of people like Taylor Swift, Nathan Chen and Michelle Kwan here — and wondering if you think their parents should have held them back from training and performing publicly for fear of disrupting their age appropriate development?
