Would you pay a professional to help your child achieve their dreams? - This West Auckland dad is doing just that

Brittany Keogh Reporter from Western Leader

Hi neighbours, a West Auckland dad is hiring a professional film director to help launch his 10-year-old daughter's career as a YouTube star. Blockhouse Bay resident Sunny Khuran says he's willing to pay someone "quite handsomely" to coach his daughter Shreya to become comfortable in front of the camera, brainstorm ideas with her and help her shoot and edit videos. Would you pay a professional to help your child achieve their dreams? What's the coolest thing your parents did to support your aspirations?
