Simon Cowell won't change his judging style after becoming a father.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' star, who became a dad to baby Eric in February, says children's acts are always welcome on the show but he won't go easy on them if they're "useless".
Quizzed if he had more compassion for younger acts, he said: "My dogs kind of got me warmed up for that - Squiddly and Diddly, I learned compassion from them.
"We've always been kind to kids, but if someone's useless you're not going to go, 'You're fantastic', just because I've had a baby."
The 54-year-old music mogul also believes the ITV talent competition attracts such a high calibre of talent because the winner will receive the opportunity to perform in front of the royal family at the Royal Variety Performance.
While Simon hasn't had direct feedback from the royals, he thinks they enjoy 'Britain's Got Talent'.
Speaking at the launch of the new series on Wednesday (09.04.14), he explained: "If they didn't like it they wouldn't let us do the thing on the Royal Variety. It is what makes this show unique and one of the reasons why we have so many people from around the world entering the show. It is a huge deal for them to perform in front of the royal family."
'Britain's Got Talent' returns on Saturday (12.04.14) at 7.15pm on ITV.

Noel Edmonds has warned the BBC will "die" if changes aren't made.
The 'Deal or No Deal' host has announced a desire for himself and a group of investors to take over the publicly-funded corporation, and claims since going public with his proposal, he has been approached by a number of top businessman and politicians who back his ideas.
He said: "If we do not take act ion soon the BBC is going to be no more.
"Nobody is coming up with a viable solution to the fact that the way the BBC is funded is not sustainable.
"You cannot fund this wonderful organisation on licence fees. I've come up with a solution and it's a very serious proposal
"Since I went public with it, it's been fascinating who's approached me, from political circles, people within the BBC, members of the public and some very wealthy people who say it's not the maddest idea."
Noel has called for political leaders to make the necessary changes that would allow business people to step in to run the corporation as it risks being lost to modern technology without the necessary funds to compete.
Speaking to Alan Carr in an episode of 'Chatty Man' airing tonight (11.04.14), he said: "There needs to be a change in the Royal Charter, of course, but it's coming up for renewal.
"Unless the politicians come up with something the BBC is going to be cut apart. We've got Google, Amazon, Microsoft now.
"The BBC has to live in that world but it's going to die if we don't do anything about it."

James 'Arg' Argent is hoping to rekindle his romance with Lydia Bright.
The 'TOWIE' favourite is excited his ex-girlfriend is returning to the ITV2 show and hopes she can forgive him for his recent admission that he cheated on her with their old co-star Amy Childs.
He said: "She was my first love. I lost my virginity to her and haven't met one girl who's matched her. I'm not gonna lie, her coming back has motivated me to get down the gym and look good.
"I'm more mature now and I've got a lot out of my system. When we were last together, it was amazing but I was too young. But I don't know if she'll ever forgive me for cheating."
Arg is excited to see what a summer of fun in Marbella, Spain, will mean for him and Lydia and thinks there is definitely scope for friendship, if nothing more.
The joker said: "I'd been avoiding her at all costs, but it was really nice to see her. We're both in Marbella in the summer, so maybe we'll have a face-to-face chat and the Lydia and Arg journey will continue."
The star has revealed he regrets breaking his friend and former fling Gemma Collins' heart, but there's nothing he can do about it.
He added to Now magazine: "It's never nice to see a girl cry and I do care about Gemma, but we're just suited as friends and unfortunately that's all I can offer. I can't force myself to love her as its just not there. I wish I did but I can't."

Neil Dudgeon believes the kill count in 'Midsomer Murders' is actually quite low.
The 53-year-old actor portrays lead character DCI John Barnaby in the ITV crime drama and although fans often joke about the high murder rate in the fictional county, Neil insists the viewers need to remember it is actually supposed to be a huge area of Britain.
Neil told BANG Showbiz: "I think of Midsomer as kind of Buckinghamshire, half of Oxfordshire and Berkshire, it's a sort of super-county. You could also think of it being like Devon, Wiltshire and Dorset all put together. So if you think about it like that, in 16 years there's been about 305 murders that's less than 20 murders a year, if my maths are right. In an area that size, you think, 'That's not so many really.' It's the fact that come in clusters that is possibly alarming and hopefully entertaining. Midsomer is not that deadly or murderous."
Neil thinks viewers' misconception about the death rate comes from the mistaken belief that Midsomer is actually a village.
The star has come up with an idea to stop people from thinking Midsomer is a village - he's going to get T-shirts printed with the correct information emblazoned on them.
He joked: "I want to get T-shirts made which say, 'It's not a village, it's a county!' People always say, 'Oh God, all those murders in one village.' I think that would be stretching the bounds of believability, even more than we do anyway, if everything happened in one village ... I hoped when my Barnaby moved in and took over from the old Barnaby that we could do something to arrest the alarming murder rate but that hasn't happened. I've always been a fan of several murders per episode any way."
Neil became the lead character in the series after John Nettles - who played DCI Tom Barnaby, the cousin of John Barnaby - decided to quit in 2011 after 14 years in the role.
Neil feels very comfortable in the show and is pleased that viewers seem to like his work in it as much as they enjoyed John's performances.
He explained: "I've been having a marvellous time since taking over from John, it's been great. When I started I'd always been a fan of the show which helped me greatly, because I felt I had at least my idea of what the show was, what it was meant to be, what I, as a fan of the show, really enjoyed about it. Luckily, people seem to like it."
The 100th episode of 'Midsomer Murders, The Killings of Copenhagen' - which as well as Neil stars Danish actors Ann Eleonora Jorgensen, Birgitte Hjort Sorensen, Marie Askehave and Nicolaj Kopernikus - is available to buy on DVD now.

David Walliams says 'Britain's Got Talent' is a "real life" 'Little Britain'.
The 42-year-old comedian often watched the ITV talent competition with his comedy partner Matt Lucas before becoming a judge, to help inspire characters for their sketch show.
Speaking on the red carpet at the launch of the new series yesterday (09.04.14), he explained: "We always used to watch it when we were doing 'Little Britain' to think, 'All these crazy people, who can we adapt as a character?' That's why I was obsessed with the show.
"Simon [Cowell] said to me years ago, when I'd just met him socially, before he asked me to do the show, he said, 'It's like the real life version of your show.' And it really is. That's why I love it. It's not like any other talent show because you've got no idea what's coming next."
David also reveals he thinks the show is at its best when the contestants are "eccentric".
He said: "We had an owl act on our show. Unfortunately, the owl didn't do anything. The man has about 30 owls and I go, 'Are you married?' He said, 'I don't need to, I've got owls!' So you start to wonder what happens with all the owls. I love it because of all the eccentrics!"
'Britain's Got Talent' returns on Saturday (12.04.14) at 7.15pm on ITV.

Marc Warren has joined the cast of 'The Musketeers'.
The 'Hustle' actor has signed up to play the Comte De Rochefort, a dashing aristocrat with a talent for sword fighting and a taste for adventure, in the BBC One drama's second series.
He commented: "I'm delighted to be part of the BBC's stylish and exciting take on the Dumas classic. Once I've overcome my fear of horses I'm sure it'll be a walk in the park."
On the surface, Rochefort seems like a charming and persuasive character, but as the series progresses his true nature and dark secrets are revealed. Only the Musketeers and their friends stand between him and a desperate act that will change all their lives forever.
The character replaces Cardinal Richelieu as the series' main antagonist as actor Peter Capaldi has left to star in 'Doctor Who'.
Jessica Pope, BBC's executive producer, added: "Adrian [Hodges, show creator] and I were thrilled to welcome Marc to the cast. He's a clever and mercurial actor who will bring danger and charm to the role of Rochefort in equal measure."
The star joins Luke Pasqualino ('Skins') as D'Artagnan, Tom Burke ('Great Expectations') as Athos, Santiago Cabrera ('Merlin') as Aramis and the Royal Shakespeare Company's Howard Charles as Porthos.
'The Musketeers' follows King Louis XIII's personal bodyguards who fight for honour and justice on the streets of 17th Century Paris.
Filming for series two is currently under way in Prague, following the success of the first series this January, which was the BBC's third highest-rating drama launch of the past decade.

'Hollyoaks' star Jesse Birdsall is backing Sandy Roscoe as Fraser Black's killer.
The actor's villainous alter-ego will be killed off in a major new 'whodunit?' storyline and he thinks Fraser's on-screen wife, played by Gillian Taylforth, should be the one to murder him.
Sandy and Fraser hit the rocks in the Channel 4 soap this week as her sons Joe and Freddie exposed some of the gangster's crimes.
Jesse told All About Soap magazine: "Personally I've always thought it should be Sandy, but that doesn't mean that's who the killer is.
"I love Gilly (Sandy) so much and we have a great working relationship. I've known her since I was about 12, so it has been a long time. When I left, there were a few tears.
"I suppose he's a pretty bad guy, and he did some pretty bad things, so I think it's probably right that he got his comeuppance in the end."
Jesse admits it hasn't hit him that he's left the show after wrapping filming on the Liverpool set recently.
He added: "I've really enjoyed it. I have to say, I have been there ten months and it feels like it has only been about two weeks.
"I've just packed up and left Liverpool and it seems as if I'm just off on a break at the minute - I don't feel like I've finished yet."
Meanwhile, Gillian is to leave 'Hollyoaks' as well later this year, but producers are leaving the door open for her to return.

'Hollyoaks' character Jason Roscoe will overdose on steroids later this year.
The student deli delivery boy - played by Alfie Browne-Sykes - will get involved with a drug dealer who supplies steroids, which he buys to try and bulk up quickly in episodes which will air in June, reports Digital Spy.
Jason's storyline will help explore Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which is an anxiety disorder and those diagnosed with the condition often have a warped view regarding their appearance.
Jason isn't satisfied with the way he looks and has previously consulted his older brother Ziggy - played by Fabrizio Santino - for advice on building muscle mass and his paranoia will gradually escalate.
Steroids have been previously associated with athletes as it has been used enhance to enhance their performance as well as being used to build muscle mass.
Alfie joined the soap in May last year and is often found covering up his twin brother Robbie Roscoe's mistakes.
He is described as "brilliant, happy, insecure and troubled all at once" on Channel 4's official website and is the quiet one "in a house of hectic noise".

James Alexandrou hasn't ruled out an 'EastEnders' return.
The actor - who played Martin Fowler on the BBC One soap for 11 years - says he is open to reprising his role after his on-screen wife Natalie Cassidy returned as Sonia Fowler, but isn't sure it's the "right time" at the moment.
He told What's On TV magazine: "Natalie called me when she went back in it and she was so happy and it seems like there's a really nice atmosphere there, and I know that when Danny Dyer came in it really energised it and he's great for the show.
"For the first time in a long time, I was really going, 'Could I do it? Could I do it?' But I don't think the time's right for me right now. But it's never a no - it's just not right now."
James joined 'EastEnders' in 1996, playing the youngest son of Walford legends Pauline and Arthur Fowler.
A wild child in his younger days, Martin impregnated Sonia as a teenager, but the pair decided to give up their baby.
They later fell in love and got married and reunited with their daughter, Rebecca, after her adoptive legal guardian passed away.
Since Sonia's return to Albert Square in January, Martin has been referred to numerous times on screen.
