He advises her not to go too far with Hamlet.
Because it was so theatrical and overblown. Jumping into her grave, really!
Ophelia tells her father polonius that her boyfriend Hamlet has gone insane.
Ophelia appears to obey whenever her brother or father tell her anything. She's annoyed at Laertes's urge toward chastity, since she suspects him of being a hypocrite, but she agrees anyway. She's very meek, up until she goes mad.
Laertes didn't have any "important realisations" during his duel with Hamlet. The duel only took place as a means for Claudius to have Hamlet killed, disguised as Laertes' need to seek satisfaction for the deaths of his father and sister. Laertes had forgiven Hamlet, but needed to uphold his reputation and honour, hence the duel.
Just tell her to be mature and patient. Tell your little sister to think about something very carefully before you do it.
He tells her not to get too involved with Hamlet or her reputation might suffer if he is unable to marry her. She responds that he shouldn't give hypocritical advice which he himself wouldn't take.

Polonius said it to his son Laertes as a piece of advice before he left to Paris
Her father Polonius. Her brother Laertes.

Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius (the king's main advisor), the sister of Laertes, and the beloved of Hamlet.
What Polonius says might seem like practical and wise advice. His closing exhortation, "to thy own self be true" is often sententiously quoted. The significance of this fatherly advice is that when we find out, in Act 2 Scene 1, that Polonius is sending a spy to check up on Laertes by slandering him about the town, we realize that Polonius himself is not to himself true and he is, as we increasingly find out, false to every man. He doesn't expect Laertes to listen to his wise advice, because he wouldn't think of following it himself. He is just putting on a show.
