My daughter Hanghui is six years old. I took her to attend the child modeling course two years ago.
Luckily, she has a gift for being a model. I let her take the class because when she was very young, she was pigeon-toed(内八字的)and I wanted to correct it.
In the past, Hanghui was afraid to go out because she would have to meet so many people. That meant she always stayed at home, so I thought it necessary to take her out more to see the outside world.
After taking the class for more than a year, I noticed her progress. She was not so shy and she dared to speak with strangers. Even on the T-stage(T台), she could behave herself. So attending modeling class was the correct decision for her.
I have read reports about child models working all day to make money, and they may have lost their innocence(纯真), However, I don't feel worried about this, because Hanghui knows the difference between performances and real life. On the stage, she is serious and cool, but after classes or a performance, she becomes a lively kid again.
If she has a chance to be a Taobao or T-stage show model, I won't refuse the invitation. I will support her to do these jobs in her free time if she wants. However, if it influences her schoolwork, I won't encourage it.
Throughout her life, I will respect her choices. Parents shouldn't impose(强加)their dreams on their children, because it's unfair to the children.
a. She has become more outgoing.
b. She is able to do well on the stage.
c. She has lost her innocence.
d. She has got more invitations from Taobao.
