Over an eight year span this site said Hello to a half-million visitors. Last year’s traffic increased dramatically as the same worries we’ve expressed countless times when it comes to professional young performers began to manifest themselves in utterly innocent reality show children whose parents, for fame, for money, perhaps for validation, literally put them on fame’s railroad tracks with no idea that the Super Chief was bearing down on them. 100,000 visitors arrived here last year, most of them driven by an anxiety that had no name, people who instinctively shared our concern as the widely broadcast meltdowns of reality show families bought and paid for by arrogant networks that would have us believe that the uncompensated children on their artificially contrived reality shows live in a bubble world and will be untouched by their notoriety. We know better, and so do you. Too many parents don’t understand that industry people and their hirelings don’t mind earning dirty money. Our concern is the mess they leave behind in the lives of both the children they exploit on camera and the children who watch their mindless product.

Family Education is the key ingredient to a productive future. The members of AMC are always "on call" to assist parents and their professional children on a 'No Cost basis.' By providing a strong emphasis on education and character development, plus helping to preserve the money these children generate, the members of AMC are always available to help with the tricky Transition issues that for many kid stars prove to be so troubling. We've "been there, done that." Our lessons were earned, not imagined. TO DONATE, CLICK HERE. THANKS.

Images Can Impact Reality
The media has it in for kids to judge by the avalanche of unfiltered images they are spreading over every medium. For many long years I have heard Industry professionals say that they are only doing their jobs when they disseminate these images, most without critical comment. In Show Business the most damaging images and dramatic sequences are produced using children with the defense that “This is Art, not Reality,” or alternately, “We are only reflecting real Life.”
This ranges from the tame ‘tempest in a teapot’ we just experienced with the two year-old on “Modern Family” dropping the F-bomb (but not really, of course)…to the overt sexualization of tabloid marketers pushing photos of Miley attacking a penis-shaped birthday cake to the new perfume being hawked by Dakota Fanning.
Into this ocean of imagery we must find some kind of ... more>>
