After months of waiting, your child finally got the callback. How very exciting. This is great news. Really.

A callback is a win in itself. Most often we hear actors get hung up on not actually booking a role – but bear in mind, it is a compliment if you receive a callback. On average, thousands of actors will submit for a project and only a dozen or so will be invited for callbacks. The same concept works on young talent.

So, your child has a burning passion for acting and performance – and you decided to take a leap into the world of show business. Congratulations, parents! This is an exciting time for your and for your child actor.

It will also be a very busy one.

I’m sure you’re like many proud parents – you believe your child has the “right look” to be a child model. It is also really natural to get excited when you were approached by a “talent scout” who seems to agree with you. But beware parents, they may be setting you up to become the next victim of a child modeling scam.
