Let her try. If she succeeds then great, if she doesn't do so well then it will be a great learning experience.

That has more to do with her maturity level than her age. My daughter started competing in dance competitions at the age of 9 and was incredibly happy if she won, but was fine if she lost. She was just happy to be able to get out there and dance and get the feedback from the judges on how to improve. But at the same time I saw older girls (even young adults) that were quite mad if they did not win.
You also will have to consider if she will be able to take rejection. Is she emotionally strong enough to handle being told she's not good enough?
If you feel she is ready, start her off in some small competitions. Some towns even have local talent shows. The pressure usually isn't as high there. Best of luck to your daughter.

I've seen kids as young as 7 be in professional lvl singing competitions. If you're daughter is actually excited about it and wants to do it let her do it. Let her know not to get down about it though if someone doesn't have a good opinion or judgement after all. Its all up to the people's taste and opinions when judging something. Its not black and white like other things in this world.

Definently! I'm 13, and although most people mature at different ages, I would say that she is old enough to take the rejection! And if not, this is the age she needs to learn how to deal with it. Best of Wishes!

Sit her down and explain that she most likely will get rejected somewhere along the line, and that you'll be there for her and that there'll be tons more competitions and she'll only get better. Good luck!

yes... let her do it. what has she got to lose? its not like american idol where it will be publicized if her voice cracks or something... if she is as mature as you say she is, then she should be fine. see the outcome of the first contest, and base your decision to let her continue doing them on the outcome(her behavior, not her performance)

She'll be alright. she'll be pissy if you don't let her try. Go with her and encourage her. This is a pivotal moment in her life.

Yeah, you should let her. As long as you watch out for her. You never know, she could be the next big thing

it would be a great start for her, and your there to help support her if she wins or looses. if you feel she is ready, then I'd say go for it. you're going to be one of the best judges of that.

definitely, i've been in competitive dance for years and it helps you learn that there is some good competition and you have to work to be the best.
