Being a child sitcom star was not easy for Tia Mowry
It's the life we all dreamed of as children, right? Being in front of a camera on set, walking the red carpets at award shows, traveling, the stardom, and loads of money. Who would have an issue with this lifestyle? As fun as it sounds, it's not all glitz and glam. Many child stars want to be removed from the pressures of the public and Hollywood.
Tia Mowry, one half of the Sister, Sister duo, faced challenges while she and her sister became household names in the Nineties.
"I think during Sister, Sister days was when I first had bouts of anxiety when it came to being in front of an audience," she told PEOPLE in an interview. "Being on set when there's an audience, like right in front of you. Talk about shaking in your bones. What if the line that is scripted for you is not funny?"

Mowry added, "You're performing live in front of an audience, and you know you're a kid... if you're going to get a good grade on this test, you're worrying about boys. You're worried about standing on your mark. You're worried about how you look. You know, there's just a lot going on."
To get over this hurdle, the actress said she had to dig deep into why she felt that way.
"What helps me also is visualization. So I will visualize myself doing what I'm doing now, and it'll help my brain kind of connect with my behavior, and I'll feel better about the situation."
