Working with children as actors.

I have to say that, beyond my regular experience with children, trying to work with children as functioning work peers is somewhat nightmarish. An unruly kid, in normal life, is pretty annoying in general. It just seems to be multiplied when an unruly kid also technically needs to be the center of attention. I think we have been pretty lucky with the little gal we are working with on our set but she certainly gets into button-pushing mode for me every now and then. Just an observation, I guess.
