For Parents of Young Actors

This category is for parents. It is written to the person making the calls, booking the auditions, and weighing up stage schools against coaching. The articles here cover the first decision (should my child be doing this at all), the structural decisions (what to put in place, what to avoid), the safety decisions (which are non-negotiable), and the long-term decisions (school, stamina, the cost of an inconsistent year). Every article assumes you are already smart and already doing your research. No talking down, no inflating the ambition, no selling the idea of a child star. If your child wants to try this and you want to help without making a mess of it, this is the category to start with.
