Ryan Reynolds Reveals How He & Blake Lively Prioritize Their 4 Children’s Mental Health

Ryan Reynolds is sharing rare insight into how he and Blake Lively put their children’s mental health first. On Oct. 9, the actor revealed to People at the Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations 11 Event in New York City the importance of asking his kids about their day. “It’s genuine when I say I take a huge interest in their days and how things are going,” she said. Ryan also shared what he and his wife prioritize teaching their children, while getting candid about their little ones’ day-to-day. “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,” he said. The couple are parents to four children.
