How did you find out about the "American Juniors" auditions? Listening to the radio
Did you help your child rehearse for the audition? If so, what did you do? No. It's important for me that she is just herself. She is terrific and talented - she certainly does not need my help.
Do you get nervous watching your child perform? Most definitely!
Does your child have to finish homework before performing? Most Most definitely!.
Do you think your child is ready for the demands of show business? Kristinia is extremely determined and focused, therefore I would say she is. I strongly believe that half the battle for a lot of people is figuring out what they want to be when they grow up. Kristinia is ahead of the game because she already knows what she wants. With determination, focus and guidance, her dreams will become a reality.
Does your kid get the star treatment at home? She is the only child, so she receives a lot of love and attention.
Were you a performer when you were a child? I distinctly remember performing in front of my parent's friends all the time. My family was extremely social and loved to entertain quite often. Part of the entertainment was having their kids put together skits and dance routines. It was a time in my life that I will always cherish.
Have people ever told you that your child should be in show business? Most people who have heard Kristinia's beautiful voice have said she is destined to entertain for the rest of her life
