Having grandparents is a great gift of life and there is no doubt that their role in the family is fundamental. Today we turn for everything: to lend a hand at home, to take care of the children, to help us financially and, in fact, they are the people who make conciliation possible. But on top of all that, there are some life lessons that grandparents teach us for which they deserve all our love and thanks.

1There are different forms of love
Grandparents teach our children and grandchildren the different forms of love within the family. Without the pressure of educating their grandchildren, grandparents have a complicit love for them that is based on camaraderie and protection.

Who do you turn to when you have a problem of any kind? You to your parents; your children, also your parents. In the end, grandparents teach us the importance of family cohesion, a lesson that will be passed down from generation to generation.
