From the same page you directed us:

Mr Price added: 'We have requests for her to perform all over the country, but we can't because obviously she has to go to school.

'She uses her unique sense of humour, stage magic, ventriloquism and full scale illusions and everyone loves her.

'She only charges £20 a show and she keeps all of her own money. She's performed at weddings and all sorts.

'We have lots of requests but we can't accept them all because she's only six.'

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?

I've to agree by heart.

I have a friend that now is a renowned doctor, but when he was young, he was a WONDERFUL ping-pong player, and had the opportunity to go with the national team (Mexico) to Japan for an international competition, but his father didn't granted him permission "because he was going to loose the semester".

Man! I really think the for a youngster the opportunity to go to such a beautiful country, meet places, people, culture, etc. IS MUCH MORE VALUABLE than a school semester.

But then... Now he can travel anywhere he wants, and actually some universities around the worl call him for lectures, as he has discovered parts of the cell that nobody has seen before, but he still remember his "lost opportunity" to travel when he was young.

To answer your question: No, I will travel the world with my kids, if I got the chance.

NEVER is too late to go to school, no matter your age, but there are certain things that you better do when you're young.

Best wishes.
