Is it ok to use children in advertisements?
In my opinion, yes, but only under certain conditions. Firstly, both child and parent (or legal guardian) have to state that they want to take part in given advertisement, and will proceed in doing so. It's also very important to know exactly what the advertisement is about, and what exactly child will have to do in advertisement, for example not all parents or children will be comfortable with showing their whole face, o r doing some kind of activity that they will feel embarrassed about, like playing on some instruments. It's very important to make sure that the child is comfortable on shooting set as well, so if the lights are too bright, or someone is too loud, make sure to at least try to make it better, in order to make the child as comfortable as possible.
