New Year’s resolutions are chock full of fitness goals, new diets, and vowing to be less stressed. Usually, we revisit these same goals year after year, although each time, we vow to stick to them. As the parent of a young performer, a large part of your life is devoted to helping your child’s dreams become a reality. Use this year to further your child’s career and help yourself along the way.
1. Encourage your child to take control of their career. There comes a time when your child needs to be an authority of their dreams. As their biggest advocate encourage them to follow up with their agents and look for audition opportunities on their own. Talk about the kind of roles they see themselves in. Hands-on involvement is a great way for children to recognize that you value them as individuals.
2. Make sure their photos and résumés are up to date. Kids change and grow quickly! Start off the new year with up-to-date headshots that are refreshing for casting directors. The holidays are a busy time, and sometimes we forget all of the great things our performers did!
3. Sign them up for a class outside of their comfort zone. Maybe your child is interested in marital arts. Sign them
