Kim Kardashian Westmay live her life out on camera, but that doesn’t mean her kids always have to.

So why was North seated separately? According to a source, when the family goes out to eat while filmingKeeping Up with the Kardashians, the kids are sometimes seated at a different table to keep them off-camera — which was the case this time.

“Kim was filming and North expressed that she didn’t want to be on camera, so she sat at a table next to Kim,” the source tells PEOPLE.

As North grows up, her mom and dadKanye West— who are also parents to daughterChicago, 6 months, and sonSaint, 2½ — have been learning to field some of the tougher questions from their oldest child.

During a recent radio interview withBig Boy on Real 92.3, Kardashian West, 37, recalled the time North asked, “Mom, why are you famous?”

“Oh, okay, okay. I’m going to have to explain this right now,” Kardashian West said of her daughter’s inquiry. But she wasquick to answer North’s question.

In another interview, Kardashian West acknowledged that her level of fame is “pretty intense” but added that “at home I’m not known.”

During the10th anniversary specialofKeeping Up with the Kardashianslast year, Kardashian West and her family opened up about allowing their significant others and children to appear on camera, withKourtney Kardashian, 39, noting that “the boundaries are always changing.”

“We’ll definitely go through moments where we’re like, ‘Cut the kids way back,’ ” she explained.

“Mason calls [the crew] the filmers,” said Kourtney. “He used to be like, ‘Are the filmers coming? I want to show them my Legos that I’m building.’ Now he’s in a phase where he’s like, ‘I don’t like when the filmers are over.’ ”

Kardashian West said appearing onKUWTKis “such a personal choice.”

“You can fall in love with someone, and it’s not their job to be on our show,” she said. “Kanye respects what I do and sometimes he’s on, if he happens to be there, or will let us film if we’re at a concert. At first we were like, ‘Our kids will never be on, my daughter is not going to be on.’ But she’s always around me and she’s so cute, so I just want people to see [that] a little bit. It’s never a story revolving [around] them or about them or anything too personal. We know that we signed up for this, but our kids did not.”
