No acting credit for Young Bethany and Young Alana?

Thought the 2 girls playing Young Bethany and Young Alana did a great job in the beginning of the movie. Super cute girls and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Established how the later versions of the characters were so care free and loved the water. Was surprised not to see an acting credit for them in the film's end credits. Not even here on imdb, where sometimes they list extended credits not shown in the film. Well that sucks. Seriously? How often does that happen in films, where the people playing the "young" version of the character don't get credited? I usually see those actors credited, so I was just shocked not to see it this time.

I wonder how they and their family must feel, to not have their hard work (probably their first film for both) credited like that. Trying to get their foot in the door of the biz and getting snubbed like that? Kinda cold for a faith themed film IMO. I wonder if either has gone on to do more films. Guess we'll never know :-/ Just hope not getting credited didn't sour them on the biz.
