The Parent Guide!: I Think My Child Has Talent, Now What

As a parent, it is our desire and responsibility to identify and foster gifts in our kids. Some children have easily identifiable gifts while others take time or exposure to certain things to identify their likes and dislikes. Have you experienced being in the mall and someone randomly telling you your child should be on TV? Or maybe you attended a school talent show, where your child was front and center, belting out a tune that not only made your mouth fall open, but made you question ... “Is that my child?” Better yet, do you find that not only does little Johnny make you and your entire family laugh, but he has this ability to make everyone laugh? Have you found that he’s also labeled the class clown? So you ask yourself, “How can I develop this?” Am I the only one who thinks my child is amazing? Then, you begin to question the horror stories you’ve heard about the Entertainment Industry and think, “I don’t want my child to be a starving artist.” So you decide against moving in this direction. But everything in you and your child keeps leading back to “What If?” What if this is why they were created? Who am I to project my fears onto them? Well, if you have experienced any of these things, The Parent Guide is for you! It contains the information I have learned over the last thirty years as a child star, raising a child star, to owning a performing arts school that deals with parents and child stars on a daily basis. This guide is comprised of real life stories, some funny and others more serious, along with my expertise on how to navigate through the Entertainment Industry. My goal is to save you money and unnecessary mistakes for you to embark upon this journey with your talented star!
