How do you get your child into modeling or acting?

To do child modeling, you generally need to go through an agency that works on your behalf to find jobs for your child. you need to be ''accepted'' by an agency then get headshots for your child. stores like baby gap, mervyns, gymboree work via these agencies. when you do get jobs, you don't find out about most of your bookings until a day or 2 prior, and you need to be available most of a working day, at the set for shooting. you need to be flexible and available. this can be trying for young children so children who are beautiful also must possess a sunny disposition! good luck!
