OK, everyone gave me some positive reinforcement when I prevented my little greed seed from embarking on an underaged modeling career. But now comes the hard part, and I'm not looking for post-decision reassurance but for input in the actual decision.
A family friend is a director, and at various times (he only sees them every couple of years) has joked with the Greed Seed about being extras in his films. Eldest Greed Seed has always harbored an interest, and we've always told her she couldn't push him about it but if he ever gave a specific offer we'd consider it and think it could be fun.
Here's the problem. He's told us (not yet her) that he does have a specific offer in mind, and it's not an extra. He's thinking of her for a major part in an upcoming film. She would be the younger version of the principal character, and there would be entire scenes built around her character. We don't yet know about filming, and she'd need to do a screen test and get vetted by studio-folk, and it's all still wishy washy, but we need to get back to him as to whether or not we and she would have an interest.
She is a great little actress, ten years old, and it is something she loves. While this may be a premature time for her to enter this world, it also may be the best opportunity she'll ever get. So what would you guys do if it was your daughter?

It sounds like a wonderful opportunity. If, in a couple of years, she has amassed a nice portfolio of professional acting work, it would certainly set her apart from the plebeians in the applicant pool for Phillips Andover (and later Harvard), I'm sure.
