"Maybe this IS her way of grieving, honoring the Dad she loved. It may make her feel close to him by carrying on what he loved."

At 8 years old ... I doubt it. All the audience wants is entertainment. That's not consultation. Performing is not grieving. She's being raised like other precocious kids ... and the long term of it isn't good ... eventually she will have issues. It's too bad a parent doesn't parent a child anymore ... an 8 year old lacks wisdom that a parent should have ... . Too many child actors/actresses have MAJOR problems ... from taking this route.

I think she views it as "doing something for Daddy" which most certainly IS a form of grieving. And no one grieves in the same way. Hiding or curling up in the dark isn't healthy either. We lost a 19 yr old granddaughter and everyone had advice none of it useful. After 3 months some people even told us it was "time to get a grip". Our pastor had told us that people would react in odd ways and be prepared for critical, well meaning statements. I was still shocked at some of the stupid judgements. I never tell anyone how they should grieve after my eye-opening experience.
