Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have consistently captured the hearts of the public with their delightful appearances on the red carpet and their endearing social media shenanigans. As one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples, they not only exude love but also offer relatable insights into the challenges of parenting. Ryan Reynolds recently shared some valuable advice regarding raising their four children that can resonate with parents and individuals alike.
“I think it’s more about talking to them about everything,” Reynolds expressed during the Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations 11 event, where he was honored with the Robin Williams’s Legacy of Laughter Award. His genuine interest in his children’s lives and daily experiences is a testament to his approach to parenting.
The key concept that Reynolds is eager to instill in his four kids—James, Inez, Betty, and their youngest addition born in February—is a virtue that we all can appreciate: “self-awareness.”
He elaborated, stating, “For me, the best time of my day is walking them to school and walking them back. I think as parents, we are so much better equipped to handle the rigors of childhood through our kids now than when I was a kid. It’s just totally different now. People are much more self-aware. And that’s the thing we sort of hang our hat on the most is self-awareness with our kids. Not be happy, not be anything, just be self-aware and welcome everything in.”
This emphasis on fostering self-awareness in their children reflects the evolving landscape of parenthood in the modern era. Reynolds and Lively recognize the importance of nurturing their children’s self-awareness and their ability to embrace life’s diverse experiences.
Notably, Blake Lively also spoke about her journey in parenting earlier this year, sharing her perspective with Forbes. She mentioned that raising their kids has helped her become more authentically herself, emphasizing the profound effect that parenthood has had on her sense of self.
“I think having children, for me, made me feel so much more in my skin,” she shared. “I never felt more myself or at ease in my own body or more confident—not to say that there aren’t a bevy of insecurities coming at me a million times a day, but I just feel incredibly settled.”
These insights from Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively offer valuable lessons for parents navigating the complexities of raising children in today’s world. Their emphasis on self-awareness is a reminder of the significance of understanding oneself and embracing life’s ever-changing journey.
