Lesson John David Learned: “The freedom to fail, to find out, to flourish in that failure. In that being uncomfortable, you’ll find the greatest parts of yourself as an artist.”

Lesson Emma Learned: "I think it's important to choose...to make decisions for yourself, and that's part of growing up in any career you have. I think you need to know what you like and what you don't and how you want to build a career."

Lesson Harley Quinn Learned: "I’m constantly working hard and pushing myself out of my comfort zone to prove that I can and will work just as diligently as anyone else. I grind twice as hard because my dad is a director and I need to show everybody that I can act and that even though I got here through him, I intend on staying put."

Lesson O’Shea Learned: "I had to get up…..and make it work. From the roles I chose. The work ethic I put into them. My professionalism on sets and promo tours. Even leaving HIS agency and goin to find a team of my own. Once the door was opened it was up to me to walk through it and thrive….But none of that. NONE. OF. THAT. Happens that way without the love of my father. The work he put in to get us to a place of opportunity. And for me to ignore that or not accept and use as a guide would be foolish and disrespectful. I am grateful and I use his teachings daily.”

Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamlin, and Amelia Gray Hamlin
Lesson Amelia Learned: “The biggest lesson I’ve learned from my mom is that hard work pays off, and that the application of oneself will get you further than you can ever imagine. Also, that it’s all up to you and in your hands.”

Lesson Sophia Learned: “My dad, he thinks so out-of-the-box. He’s so weird and he can take my mind places that I probably wouldn’t go to and he opens me up to so many different thoughts. He’s my creative go-to.”

Diana Ross and Tracee Ellis Ross (Getty Images)
Lesson Tracee Learned: “I was beyond spoilt with love. My mother is a mother first and foremost. She really instilled in all five of her children, family first, care for other people, go after your dreams, and never be afraid of authority figures.”
Whether famous or not, lessons passed down from parents to their children can inspire and resonate with us all. These insights, rooted in the experiences and wisdom of those who have navigated parenthood remind us that regardless of our backgrounds, the wisdom and values instilled by parents can be powerful beacons guiding our children toward their own greatness.
