What he said

"I took a workshop on conflict resolution, and that changed my entire life," he said.

The actor 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."

"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," Reynolds added. "You can disagree and still connect."

Reynolds stated that he learnt to deal with his emotions as an adult, but his children did not. "I have 4 kids and so far, none of them seem to have that scarcity mindset, partly because they were born on 'Easy Street,' " he said.

"Parents today are so different. We're so soft," he continued. "I don't yell. I grew up with like it was nuts, it was an improvised militia."

Reynolds went on to share how things have changed with time. "Now it's like, I can go look at all my resources for parenting and remind myself how to be perfectly compassionate," he said.
