Ewan McGregor refuses to spoil his daughters.
The ‘Miss Potter’ actor believes giving children whatever they want is
“disastrous parenting” and he and wife Eve insist their three girls, Clara,
12, Esther, seven, and adopted Jamiyan, also seven, work for their treats.
He said: “Giving kids whatever they want is disastrous parenting. There’s no
sense of something earned.
“If you’re 12, you don’t need a new mobile phone every few months just
because a new one comes out. I’m not going to buy them the latest phone or
an iPod every time another one comes out and I’m definitely not buying them
a pony.
“As a result, my kids don’t want for very much. They’re not greedy. They’re
wonderful children.
“I see a lot of kids getting whatever they want but saying no helps. That’s
what parents don’t understand.”
Ewan believes his strict parenting means his children are unaffected by his
fame and have a normal upbringing.
