Danielle Fishel<\/a> wants child actors to know they are in a “safe space” with her.<\/p>\n

Danielle Fishel wants child actors to know they are ‘in a safe space’ with her<\/p>\n

The 43-year-old actress was just 12 years old herself when she was cast as Topanga Lawrence on the Disney Channel sitcom ‘Boy Meets World’ in the early 1990s and now she is directing episodes of ‘Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’ for the network, she wants younger actors on set to feel as if they can approach her with suggestions. <\/p>\n

She told UsWeekly: “If something I\u2019m telling you to do doesn\u2019t feel good for you or doesn\u2019t feel natural for you, I want you to tell me and let\u2019s come up with something else.<\/p>\n

“You make a suggestion, \u2018Let\u2019s try it. This is a safe space and let\u2019s just find the best way to do it.\u2019 And it\u2019s worked very well for me thus far.<\/p>\n

“I think one of the really important things is having conversations with each kid, and not in front of everybody.<\/p>\n

\n“When you\u2019re rehearsing you\u2019re on a set and everyone is standing around \u2014 there are crew members, the parents of the children are there, or their guardians; whoever\u2019s there watching them that day. And when you are giving notes and you\u2019re trying to make a scene better, sometimes it can feel like, \u2018Everybody\u2019s eyes are on me and I was just given a note.\u2019 And I never want them to think that if I\u2019ve given them a note, it\u2019s that I\u2019m correcting something they\u2019ve done.”<\/p>\n

\nThe former ‘Girl Meets World’ star also explained that she will politely ask parents to leave the set if she feels they are becoming “insecure” with their guardians watching them. <\/p>\n

\nShe said: “And so when I can tell that an actor is maybe feeling a little insecure or needs a bit of a pep talk for whatever reason. I will ask the parent or guardian and that actor to step aside where nobody can really see us and just have a one-on-one conversation where [I say], \u2018Tell me what\u2019s going on for you.\u2019”<\/p>\n
