Kate Winslet may get the star treatment when she goes out in public, but her kids don’t — not if she has anything to say about it.

“The challenge is making sure that they’re never treated different just because I sometimes am,” says the Oscar winner, who is mom to Mia Honey, 10 and Joe Alfie, 7.

“The highest compliment I could ever receive about my kids — and I can say that this does happen frequently — is when the in-flight crew say to me, ‘Your children are wonderful. They are so well-behaved.’ Every time I am told that, I could weep,” says Winslet, 35.
