Ewan McGregor
Ewan believes giving a child everything can ruin them because they don’t learn how to earn it: “Giving kids whatever they want is disastrous parenting, there’s no sense of something earned. What they care about is what all kids care about: their friends, feeling safe, feeling loved, and being free to express who they are.”

Elton John, who recently welcomed a son, says he wants to give his son a normal childhood that has value: “I so value my own childhood now, and the sense of wonder and personal discovery that I enjoyed, that we want to give Zachary – as much as we possibly can – the same thing. A solid old-fashioned childhood, if you like. I know it’ll be hard with my life, but we want him to have that same normality and for things in life to have real value. So we don’t intend to spoil him – we’re going to try to give him a fun, carefree time of innocence, freedom, love and stability.”
