Very cool for both your daughter and you! Many congratulations!
I was a SAG/Aftra children's agent many moons ago in Chicago. I really believe the self-destructive path among some child actors is in large part due to the parents and other adults around them. I had kids who were over-indulged by their parents and/or managers to get cooperation on set or in auditions. Those parents were so desperate to see their kids "succeed" that they threw any good ideas about parenting out the window. And their kids had major trouble ahead. I had other kids with balanced parents who were amazing kids- really amazing kids. Those parents didn't hesitate to yank a kid out of an audition if he was misbehaving and I respected that. I don't believe it's the spotlight that "ruins" them. I really believe it's how the adults around them treat them once that spotlight is on.
