Fame not all children possess (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

renown

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'fame' is the definition.
(I know that fame can be written as renown)

'not all children possess' is the wordplay.
'not all children' becomes 'ren' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'possess' becomes 'own' (synonyms).
'ren'+'own'='RENOWN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for renown that I've seen before include "Fame and public acclamation" , "Fame and distinction" , "High repute" , "Celebrity, fame" , "Fame, respect" .)
