I'll second this. If you approach it as a fun thing to do once, it's one thing. It's quite another to say that this is what she's going to do with her life. I knew a girl growing up who occasionally did some modeling work - she'd show up in local ads, or in fashion spreads in the local paper, but it wasn't a big deal for her. She had an agent who gave people her head shots, and sometimes something came up. She seemed pretty normal. College, business degree, works in marketing for a small company, etc. There was another girl who was moderately more frequently in such things whose mother seemed obsessed. She ended up pretty screwed up. Baby at 17, etc.
So I don't think modelling is nearly so important as how the parents approach it.
Personally, I'm a little disappointed in the baltspawn - by the time the Olsen twins were their age, they were making like $250k a year. The baltspawn have never brought in a dime.
