But I don't think I can do it, and I feel guilty that I am passing up that opportunity for them. It so often hits me. In particular today, my kids took a summer acting/singing class with this woman who is a voice actress, and my son is her clear favorite in the class. To the point he was chilling on her lap today, and everyday she kinda hovers around him (not in a creepy way) after the lessons. Place we go to does all levels of acting/singing/instruments/etc., and they even do random sessions with agents. I just signed them up because they love to sing. But it does seem very much they would fit right in.
And yes, I know a lot of kid actors get screwed up, but there are a ton out there that only did a few things for that college money and then pulled out.
