Grandparents have a tremendous influence on the values and behaviors of their grandchildren. A recent study out of Cornell University showed that nine out of 10 adult grandchildren stated that their grandparents had a major impact on their values and behaviors as adults. Now, this is pretty intuitive to understand. I think all of us who were fortunate enough to have grandparents in our lives as children remember lessons that we learned from those grandparents, interactions we had with the grandparents that were really different from the time that we spent with our parents.
