The casting call is your chance to land your next job, and child casting calls are no different when it comes down to it. There are a few things that you should always bear in mind to ensure that you and your child can secure the position. Firstly, there is no need to worry. Just take a look at some of these helpful tips that will help you make the best first impression possible – helping you to land that dream job!

When you arrive for the casting process make sure that you give off an air of confidence. Whilst you may be nervous inside, it is possible to display an outer image of confidence and professionalism which will really impress the agents. Make sure you are polite and friendly to everyone you meet and that you are willing to go the extra mile to impress them. This will benefit your child immensely.

When you go in for the call, tell your child not to worry. Tell them to try and stand up straight and not to fiddle with their hands too much. Of course, the agents will be much more forgiving when it comes to children so there is no need to worry too much about this. Though anything that will help your child will always be a bonus.

Before arriving to your call make sure you pick out a suitable outfit for your child. This might depend on the specific job, but in general you want to be at your best which means picking out types of clothes that suit your figure and are tasteful and appropriate. When it comes to child casting calls it is best not to go too heavily on the makeup if your child is a girl. Just make sure they are well dressed and looking smart!

When you arrive at the call with your child it is important you look out for them by making sure that the whole operation is legitimate. If there is something making you feel uneasy then it is perfectly acceptable to leave. You should also be wary of anyone who asks you for money. Just bear these factors in mind and everything should run smoothly.

Finally, if your child does get rejected then it is important to let them know that this is not the end of the world. There may be other options in the future, but for now your child still has the time to simply focus on being a child. Do not be bitter for the rejection yourself, simply thank the organizers for the opportunity and stay positive for your child.

Child casting calls can be intimidating both for children and parents who have never attempted them before, but in general those who stay calm and polite whilst keeping their head up high will always gain from the experience even if they do not ultimately get the job. You can always respond to other calls down the line, but for now just give it your best effort!

There is no court order yet. The procedures are just beginning. If the child spends equal time with both parents, me being the mom and I make more money, who would pay child support? And what is a custodial and non-custodial parent?

The 1st thing that will be determined is custody. If you are granted full custody, the father will be expected to pay child support, and should be granted scheduled visitations. They will base child support on both incomes. If you are granted joint-custody, and the child lives equal time in both homes, I’m not sure what child support would be paid, and to whom. The judge will work that out, along with which parent is responsible for insurance, etc.

I know about the child tax credit but heard about an additional child tax credit that I may be elidgible for. What is it and what do I need to qualify? I have one child a 5 month old little boy if that helps.

If a person or couple’s taxes aren’t high enough to take the full $1000 child tax credit, then the rest of it might be able to be claimed as the "additional child tax credit" to total the full $1000. It’s not additional money to the $1000.

If you don’t get the full $1000 because you don’t owe enough tax to take it, fill out form 8812 (can be downloaded at irs.gov) to see if you qualify for getting the rest of the $1000 through the additional child tax credit.

‘Tis the time for New Year’s resolutions, our perennial effort to improve ourselves, correct our errant ways and remake ourselves in our own best image. If you are a parent struggling with separation or divorce, consider making your primary 2009 New Year’s Resolution a renewed commitment to your child’s emotional wellbeing. Do what it takes to improve the quality of your parenting relationship by bettering your communication and interaction with your ex. Resolve to love and support your children by treating your ex with courtesy and respect, and by continually striving to be the superior parent. Love your child more than you may dislike the other parent.

When parents separate or divorce, everyone suffers; but children suffer most. The two people they love most in the world no longer love each other. It makes children anxious. They wonder if their parents will stop loving them. Separation and divorce tear apart a child’s world, but parents who put their children first can minimize the effects on their children. By approaching separation or divorce as a collaborative process that will lead to a better life for the entire family, parents can restore their children’s trust and happiness and reassure their children of both parents’ love.

This New Year’s vow to put your children first and resolve to:

1. Avoid playing the blame game. Don’t blame your ex for the divorce, for lack of money, or for the loss of your home or possessions. Your problems with your spouse are adult issues that shouldn’t be aired in front of the children. Don’t use the blame game to drive a wedge between your children and your spouse. Your children deserve the love of both parents.

2. Respect your spouse. Children are not a bargaining chip. Do not use your children to put pressure your spouse. Your spouse is equally entitled to enjoy a close personal relationship with the children. Focus on what your children need, not on your own hurt. And remember that your spouse is hurting too. Try to see things from your spouse’s perspective.

3. Respect your child. Never use your children to spy on your spouse or deliver messages. Any issues you have with your spouse are adult problems; deal with them yourself. Never threaten to deny your child access to the other parent as punishment. Your children deserve the unconditional love and support of both parents.

4. Tell your child you love him. During separation or divorce, children need constant reassurance that you love them. If you become angry with your child, tell him you love him, then focus your comments on the undesirable action, not the child.

5. Keep your promises. Divorce and separation shatter a child’s trust. Keeping your promises to your child slowly rebuilds the bond that lets your child know he can count on you.

6. Focus on the future. Accept the life changes that separation or divorce bring and look upon it as an opportunity to create a better, happier life. Be realistic; don’t encourage reunion fantasies. Waiting for something that will never happen prevents your child from moving forward. As you embrace your new life, your children will be empowered by the positive changes they observe.

Even if separated or divorced, you and your spouse will always share the goal of raising happy, healthy, well-adjusted children. Keep that goal firmly in mind as you embrace the New Year.
