Here's a couple:

Two different child actors played Tony Danza's childhood self and of course, Danza played a grandfather(I think) in Who's The Boss?

Nikki Cox played Young Iola in Mama's Family

Anymore?

Roseanne - The guy who played DJ played a young Roseanne, while Dan played an old(er) DJ

Sophia on Golden Girls played herself out of wig/old makeup as a younger mother (not really a child character but still played her younger self)

Who's The Boss - Candice Cameron played a young Mona (the episode where her brother opens a hotel)

Family Ties - Steven Keaton was shown in flashbacks, Alek/Mallorie were shown in a Christmas scene as kids, and also Alex when he was a baby
