On a whim I submitted pics of my girls to a local talent scout - they seem reputable (I did my research) and they have supplied models for a few events I have worked on. I didn't really think anything would come out of it but we received a call and they want to sign both my girls. To be totally honest, it is pretty exciting! As a parent we all think our child is the most gorgeous creature known to man so it is flattering that others also are somewhat enchanted. However, as we have gotten closer to the meeting date I have had a few concerns. Obviously, I would never push my girls into doing anything they did not enjoy. So, if the they were offered some work and hated it - then the whole deal would be off immediately.
Yet, the real concern is - am I sending the right message to my children. They are young so perhaps it is a bit too early to worry about body image and such. However, I do not want them to be too focused on looks and beauty especially at such a young age. The teenage years are brutal enough, right? Am I over-analyzing this? I mean, they are kids not super models. I'd love to hear your feedback on this subject. We meet with the agent on Monday.
PS - The pic below was one that was submitted to the talent rep. Isn't she sweet?
