I had an acting teacher in college tell us, “No parent looks at their child and says, Dammit you’re gonna be an actor.” Choosing the life of an artist is a choice you make for an extremely personal reason. The same with being a parent. It is a choice.

Why did you choose to become a parent? Why did you choose to become an actor or whatever career path you've chosen for yourself? Why did you choose the life you're living?

An actor’s work starts with work on themselves and that’s where it’s most helpful to begin our journey as parents, with ourselves.
