This is one topic that brought me smiles 😀 immediately I saw it because as a parent I know what people thinks of others, even those that are yet to become parents. But to start with, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. I mean, its a free world 🌍 where opinions comes in different does not cost us.

As a young girl after my secondary school and before my higher institution years, I took interest in modeling because of my height and lanky body shape. Although in those days of millennium, modeling was not a big business here in Nigeria 🇳🇬, but many who were into it believed in themselves. And I was lucky 🍀 to feature in some Calendar 📆 shots for products like GSM Telephone hand sets and others like fashion and beauty products. But because my parents wanted me to properly go to school 🏫, I was not able to cope with modeling and school at that time.

Then when I got married and had my girls who took some beauties from me, I wanted them to grow and be seen in the bill boards around Lagos, Nigeria 🇳🇬. I registered them in modeling agencies with managers who was managing then then. And I devoted my own part of time to them because when ever their managers calls that there will be a casting selection in any of the companies they scouted, I will beg my boss at the office, leave work and go straight to their school 🏫 to pick them. And I can tell you my children 👧 got into kids Bill Boards advertisement, some signed for one (1) year, others lasting into two years and more.

And when my first daughter grew into a teenager and after her secondary school 🏫, she decided to go for a “Digital photography, modeling and fashion styling school 🏫 overseas. This is a very intensive and interesting course that is making waves in this era of the Genzys. Its a pure Art studies but also involves digitals for perfect out comes.

So, I can tell you that parents who choose to make their children influencers through the Internet does not just do that solely because of the money 💰 the child will bring to the family , but they are at the same time creating a future avenue for that child’s talent. Because I love modeling, fashion and public appearance, I tried going into modeling in my youth, although it did not blossom then. And now my daughter who picked interest because of how I exposed her and her junior sister (who is now purely into Tech) picked interest into Arts because of the love

Change will continue to happen and many things are still going to come up through this generation and into the next generation. Who said the Internet will not make people see opportunities that can benefit them in one way or the other? If a certain parent can not make their kid to become influencer does not mean another certain parent will not. What matters here is how you guide this children. No mother or father will want to abuse their children because of money 💴. They only do things like this after seeing some visible talents in these kids.

However, the world 🌍 is full of criticism of all kinds which is part of human nature. You can never satisfy humans, so you don’t need to think of what anyone have to say. All you need do is what brings you and your family happiness. This era does not need you to seek other peoples opinion. There is nothing like endangering the child because they will still grow up to choose what they want to become.
