New York, NY – June 26, 2017 —
Renowned child acting coach, Denise Simon, has coached some of the most
talented and award-winning kids in film, TV, and Broadway, and is now bringing
her expertise to help guide parents though the entertainment industry with her
new book, Parenting in the Spotlight: How
to Raise a Child Star Without Screwing Them Up (Thomas
Noble Books). Simon, who has 30+ years of experience working with child actors
and their parents, shares many helpful tips and practical advice, as well as
life lessons to help parents support their child to reap the greatest enjoyment
and benefits from acting.
“The media likes to hype the
stories of child stars who struggled or crumbled under the pressure. However,
in my thirty years of experience in this business, I have seen just the
opposite. The vast majority of child actors I have known grew into accomplished,
successful adults — and a lot of that is thanks to their parents,” said Simon.
Here is what people are saying
about the book:
“In terms of genuine understanding
of not only the craft, but the business, you won’t get any better than Denise Simon.”
- Judy Reyes, Scrubs, Devious Minds
“I am thrilled to have a helpful
suggestion to give to the parents who approach me about their children. I know firsthand of Denise’s kindness and
talent, and think this book will be an invaluable tool in navigating an often
difficult journey.” - Meg Simon, VP Casting, Warner Bros. Television
“The advice and life lessons in
this book are extremely helpful. This is
a must-read for parents with a child performer. - Karine Schnapp, mother of
Noah Schnapp of Stranger Things
Parenting in the Spotlight: How
to Raise a Child Star Without Screwing Them Up, takes parents through the journey of child acting –
from evaluating a child’s passion meter, to the ins and outs of the industry,
getting representation, tips for auditions, and coping with rejection. The book
also guides parents through their role, the teen years, and preparing for
college auditions.
