How do you know if your child is good enough?

A good measure of potential is “how do they compete on a state/national level?” Is your child competing to get into top summer programs - even if you don’t have enough money to attend, try sending in audition tapes. It’s very easy to be a big fish in a small pond, ie. high school and community theater. And remember, at this age, it is all potential - a lot needs to happen (training, luck, connections, fairy dust) before anyone can really succeed in the performing arts, regardless of “talent.”
