Does my child have model potential?
Modeling can be hard work, but it can also be a wonderful experience for your child and a great opportunity for you to spend quality time together. It can also introduce them to a wealth of new experiences. Another huge benefit is developing your child’s social skills and self esteem; it’s wonderful for you to see your child grow into a vibrantly, confident person. They get to socialise with other kids from outside of their normal social circle. It also helps them learn to speak to adults and take direction well. Children can expect to gain confidence, interview skills and wonderful memories. Plus if your child is successful there is money to be made.
Your child must be photogenic, happy and smiley, with clear skin and bright eyes. However not all child models have to be pretty or cute, sometimes a quirky look with plenty of character and sparkle will go a long way for advertising companies that want to sell their clients products.
The child’s temperament is equally as important as looks. All child models must be good natured and sociable in order to put up with meeting lots of strangers and deal with a busy schedule.
