Grandchildren were asked which life lesson passed down by grandparents was 'most important' to them - the answer given by a third, might be surprising.

Grandparents can be such an important part of their grandchildren's lives. Children who have a good relationship with their grandparents are said to have fewer emotional and behavioural problems, with more than half now stepping in to look after grandchildren while parents work - cementing their place as a valuable part of a functioning family unit.
