Sorry about being so quiet lately, we've been busy building something behind the scenes I think you're really going to love. Watch this space - it's not far off. In the meantime, I've got a question that's been on my mind, and I want your honest answers. When your child first started out, what's the one thing you wish someone had warned you about? The thing you only worked out the hard way. Maybe it was the cost. The waiting around. A dodgy "agency." Castings clashing with the school run. The emotional side nobody talks about. Or just the thing you'd go back and tell yourself on day one. We want to pull some of these apart properly in future posts, because the honest answers are always the most useful. Please pop yours in the comments. Remember there's always a parent reading this who's right at the start and hasn't got a clue yet (and weren't we all there once)... #childmodel #childactor #kidstalentadvice #industryparent
The response to our last post absolutely blew us away! So many of you commented. So many of you messaged. And every single one said pretty much the same thing... "This is exactly what I've been looking for." I can't tell you everything just yet, but what I can tell you is that we are so close to being ready! If you haven't already commented TRACK on the previous post - do it now. Or drop it in the comments below. Because the people on this list are going to be the very first through the door. And trust me, you want to be first for this one! Watch this space. The wait is nearly over. #childmodelling #childactor #kidstalentagency #childmodelagency
Are you stuck? You know your child has something special. But you have no idea where to start. Who to contact. What agents actually want to see. Whether you're even doing it right. You're not alone. I hear it every single day - so I decided enough was enough and I had to do something about it! I was tired of hearing parents tell me they just didn't know where to start and felt like they were doing their child a disservice just because they aren't from this world... Something is coming that I truly believe is going to change things for so many of you. And I want to make sure that the people who need it most hear about it first. Comment TRACK below and I'll send you everything straight to your DMs the moment it's ready. No spam. Just the good stuff, first. Already subscribed to our mailing list? Comment TRACK anyway - this is a separate waitlist that gives you priority access above everyone else. You'll thank yourself later. 😉 Bonnie x

Let's start 2025 on a high.... Do you feel like you should or could be doing more but don't feel well informed enough? Having completed a soft launch at @youngtalentexpo in November, which proved such a success we had to delay our official launch due to space (we filled ALL time slots for 2024 on the day and had to release more!), we are super excited to finally officially launch our 1-2-1 sessions via Zoom. Kicking off with the most popular - 1-2-1 Mentoring session with myself. Think of this as an 'ask me anything', this session can be tailored depending on age and experience of child; from total beginner with no idea of where to start, seeking guidance with those very important first steps, to parents of experienced actors/models feeling like they need some professional and honest advice to help elevate their 2025 game; whether currently represented or unrepresented - let us hold your hand and give you the confidence you need. You'll leave this session with all those unanswered questions answered, feeling like an Industry Parent genius! Let us help you kick 2025 off with concise goals and a clear plan of action for your child. Head over to industryparent.com now to purchase your session - dates and times available to suit all; weekdays, weekends, daytime & evenings. Available in the Shop (under Industry Parent tab). I can't wait to meet you all! See you there. Bonnie x
