This gives kids the knowledge that they can start to learn to use these tools to better themselves in a way. Im really only talking right now about being intune with your own inutition. If they are getting paid to be on the show then they are getting reimbursed well for it. I agree with your point though that im sure they have a hard time in school after they have been outed by society for theiir gifts. IM sure they didnt tell anyone about them, cause at a young age you wouldnt exactly know your a medium, only that you have strange visions. Kepp up the good work. well I look at it like this….. the experinces of the phenomina start at a young age.

There's a good chance that if their peers know, they could either have other kids making fun of them for something that's very serious, maybe even traumatic for them already. Even worse, the other kids could get excited and try to get the kid to do parlor tricks. "How many ghosts are in the hallway?" Regardless of whether you believe in these sorts of abilities or not, if the child believes he/she has it, it's real enough for them and shouldn't be taken lightly.
