I don't know what to think about all this.

"Gifted" childs often become "gray" adults, because even a mediocre performance, if it is done by a small child, has a lot of appeal.

But IMO just a few grow with the same drive and have enough talent to shine when they aren't kids anymore.

Only time will show.

Best wishes.
I want to know how this affects her school. Would YOU send your daughter to school if she has the chance to tour the world?

Would you home school her? Send her to a performing arts school?

I agree, that fame and performance as a child can change the whole way the child interacts and exists. But if she is gifted, then that SHOULD be nurtured...right?
