There’s no business like show business like no business I know! But our video bloggers ask if it is the right kind of business to be encouraging your child to tap dance, warble or pantomime their way into?
Like Ruth from geekmummy.com asks, why would you encourage your child into showbusiness any more than accountancy or any other interest of theirs?
For some of our video bloggers, the idea appeals providing family life and education don’t take a knock.
There’s a thin line between encouragement and forcing. Perhaps a thinner line still between supporting a child and living your own interests vicariously? As for the mother of a 10-year-old being given eyebrow tattoos and groomed for super stardom…?

My 7 year old is currently filming for cbeebies and loving it. She loves dancing and drama but I don’t push her it is just another part of her life. I see it as a wonderful opportunity and a broadening of her life experience. I think there is sometimes a danger of living your life through your kids. I have no aspirations for what I want my kids to be as long as they are happy and well rounded.
