'Tis an interesting topic.
It didn't do someone like Shirley Temple any harm, she was an icon and in later years some sort of ambassador for her country.
On pushy parents, that often where the problem lies e.g. Kit Culkin. Some producers or agencies just refuse to work with a child if the parent seems pushy; it's too much hassle.
There's also the aspect of what happens later. When the limelight fades or the stresses of fame become too much. Though there's always comebacks.
Jennifer Capriati, Drew Barrymore etc.
Sometimes it's innocuous, The Little Rascals (series of films about some lil' scamps - had an alternative title too but I can't be bothered to look on imdb.com : o )). They would just be asked, say, 'run over there' or do such and such; it was great fun for them... and so gradually the film got made without too much hassle.
