They become fussy about what they will\/won&#39;t wear (I know a little boy who insisted on wearing his wellies to bed and a little girl who likes to wear party dresses everywhere, even playgroup). And you cut your measure according to your cloth, as the saying goes, so if you can afford to spoil your kids, it&#39;s hard to resist the temptation not to.   <\/p>\n<p>  But spending such an obscene amount of money on a wardrobe for a toddler is crazy. The most important thing about children&#39;s clothes, as most parents know,&nbsp;is that they should be PRACTICAL. And I feel really uncomfortable with the idea of &#39;fashionising&#39; children, celeb or otherwise. The other day someone asked me if I&#39;d take part in a &#39;who&#39;s the best dressed celebrity child?&#39; poll. My answer? A big fat NO.   <\/p>\n<p>  Let me know what you think.   <\/p>\n<p> written by Liz Jarvis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"why do celebrities insist on turning their children into fashion plates?","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3348,148],"tags":[545,546,547,548],"class_list":["post-1848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-lifestyle-tips-for-families","category-handy-reviews-for-families","tag-fashion-2","tag-katie-holmes","tag-tom-cruise","tag-wellies"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Celebrity kids should be allowed to be children, too - KidStart Magazine<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Celebrity kids should be allowed to be children, too - KidStart Magazine\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"why do celebrities insist on turning their children into fashion plates?\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"KidStart Magazine\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-10-09T08:19:00+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2013-06-24T13:13:31+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Anita\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Anita\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/\",\"name\":\"Celebrity kids should be allowed to be children, too - KidStart Magazine\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-10-09T08:19:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2013-06-24T13:13:31+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/0f892175d96fe3714b565dc5da94471b\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/celebrity-kids-should-be-allowed-to-be-kids-too\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Celebrity kids should be allowed to be children, too\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/\",\"name\":\"KidStart Magazine\",\"description\":\"KidStart - a little help along the way\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/0f892175d96fe3714b565dc5da94471b\",\"name\":\"Anita\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1ed254c55b7b84fc4ac5b27299652760?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1ed254c55b7b84fc4ac5b27299652760?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Anita\"},\"description\":\"I\u2019m Anita, a mum to two under 5s, a blogger, journalist and author.
