They minimize the child’s exposure to the actual gore and violence, and make it look real in post production. For example, the kid who played Georgie in IT spent a lot of time with Bill Skarsgard, and was allowed to play with the props before the sewer scene. When the time came to film the scene, he liked Skarsgard, and he knew it was all just pretend, so it didn’t even faze him.
