Ryan Reynolds on parenting style.
Actor Ryan Reynolds spoke about his and his wife Blake Lively’s parenting style and how, with time, his emotions have evolved, as reported on People. He said, “I took a workshop on conflict resolution, and that changed my entire life.” He added, “I just didn’t know how to process things that I felt because I had a scarcity mindset when I was younger. I didn’t know how to unfold that thing in your brain that conditions you just always to win or be right.”
Talking about conflict resolution.
The actor said, “Something I love about conflict resolution, and I know this is not very fancy, but what I love about it is that you can meet somebody where they are, and you don’t have to be right or wrong. You can disagree and still connect.” He said that he learned to deal with his emotions as an adult, but his children did not, saying, “I have 4 kids, and so far, none of them seem to have that scarcity mindset, partly because they were born on ‘Easy Street.’”
“Parents today are different.”
He continued, “Parents today are so different. We’re so soft. I don’t yell. I grew up with like it was nuts, it was an improvised militia. Now it’s like, I can go look at all my resources for parenting and remind myself how to be perfectly compassionate.”
