Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's four children have taught them both a lot.

Reynolds recently appeared on the red carpet at the "Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations 11" event in New York City, where he received the Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award. The purpose of the event was to help combat the stigma of mental illness and was held the day before World Mental Health Day (October 10).

At the event, Reynolds was asked about the relationship between parenting and children's mental health, and what he said was truly inspiring.

"I think it's about talking to your kids about everything. When I say I have a big interest in their days and how things are going, it's genuine," the Deadpool actor explained to People. [For me,] the best part of the day is driving them to and from school," he continued.

"As a parent, I think I'm so much better equipped to deal with the rigors of childhood through my kids now than I was when I was a kid. It's totally different now."

"People are more aware. And that's what we rely on the most. It's not about being happy, it's not about being nothing, it's just about being self-aware and accepting everything."

Reynolds and Lively share daughters James (8), Inez (7), and Betty (4), and have a fourth child due in February 2023, though the name and gender have not yet been revealed.

The little people also seem to have their little fingers wrapped around their dad. Speaking to Extra at Monday's event, the actor revealed that for some reason his children wanted him to be Lawrence Welk for Halloween. When asked, he replied, "I'll do whatever you say. I'm not the boss." He replied, "I'm not the boss.
