Depends on how the movie is shot. Generally kids won’t be involved in such scenes and will be edited in. There’s a few exceptions when the child plays a major role in scenes. The most notable is Corey Feldman in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter who during the climax would have been unable to film his shots separately. Apparently when Jason (Ted White) crashed though the window and grabbed Corey, he was unaware it was going to happen and the look on his face was genuine.
