What stands out to me is that if a child does have a passion for performing and they've only done PFP work when the opportunity for real work arrives a child unaccustomed to an actual audition process, actual rejection and actual competition will not only get burnt out quickly, their self esteem will surely be hit. A child in that situation will wonder why they went from being a star in the "runway" show to not booking anything and as with all children, their feelings will be bruised. PFP devalues hard work and positions children for self esteem issues. It's not fair in the long run to the children whose parents allow them to do PFP. When you're not booking, you should always be training...belovedtatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130198386081230145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730736892866780100.post-45350620145741439042016-01-07T19:38:46.799-08:002016-01-07T19:38:46.799-08:00Well put, Bizzymama!

I would love to add that free and pay-to-play work makes it very likely that future jobs will also go unpaid or -- even worse -- kids will be charged a fee to participate. The rise of social media has seen designers able to cast without the use of agents. This lowers the salaries of professional model kids. and could potentially put smaller agencies out of business. <br /><br />As you said, this is a job and none of us would be happy to find out that someone else paid their way into the same position that we worked very hard to attain. It's the same for our kids.shipstresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06193128981959888580noreply@blogger.com
