I largely agree with your sentiments buylocal. But not with you regarding nursery provision. My 2 yr 6mths GD loves her nursery which she attends 2 days a week while DD is WFH. Her speech which was behind has come on in leaps and bounds. She doesn’t give either parent a backward glance when she goes in. I’ve heard many teachers of reception year children say they know which children have attended nursery as they are so confident.

I wish good health for future generations, without it you have nothing worth having.

What advice do you give to your grandchildren about how to achieve their hopes and dreams?
Be yourself. Follow your own path.
How do you hope the world will be for future generations and what steps do you take now to help achieve this?
Peaceful and equitable - I try to live lightly and gift when I can to help meet the basic needs of others less fortunate than I am.
Have you thought about writing a Will? Would you consider leaving a gift in your Will to Cancer Research UK to ensure your family grow up in a world where more people survive cancer?
I have a will already and don't want to change it.

I would wish them love, kindness, justice and the ability to walk away from prejudice, anger and doubt.

To follow your dreams, work hard, enjoy your life, care for yourself and our planet. Think of others first.

I hope for future generations of my family that the Lord will be their shepherd - that they will follow Jesus wholeheartedly. That goodness and love will follow them all the days of their lives, and they will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23.)

I do have a will, with money given to charity. But not to any charities that fund research on animals, which rules out most of the medical ones.

Be happy. Do good things in life and help whoever needs them. Respect everyone and be kind. Always try your best.

Be truly grateful for good health, a roof over your head, and food on your plate.

There is some fantastic advice here already and I would echo a lot of it regarding kindness and care of the planet.

I would add the cultivation of a lifelong sense of curiosity and delight.

Live life to the full, smile and be kind. Treat others how you want to be treated

my advice is never to fall out with anyone..agree to differ. remember love makes the world go around if you execise love in your lives all the rest will happen automatically ...I have left to my grandchildren equally ... Yes . ..I have made a will and left something to cancer research...my husband is have treatment for cancer at the moment.

As for Cancer Research, I would like much more time, energy and money on the psychology of prevention of Cancer. As we all know a large proportion of cancers (and other illnesses like Diabetes, etc) are caused by our own, well known behaviours.

Of course not all, but for many cancers, we know what causes it and how- but we don't know, often, how to help and support people to stop the causes. Preventing should be just as important, and I'd say even more, than cure.

An old adage, treat others as you would like to be treated; take time to enjoy the day, just a few minutes. I fervently hope my children and theirs can enjoy some of the freedoms our generation have had.

I’d like them to be happy, be healthy and find someone that loves and respects them, that will be there when I am not here.

Always try to be kind to others no matter what happens

Treat others as you would like to be treated - be kind, be confident, be happy. Keep a calm and positive attitude in good times and bad. Smile and sing!

To know that love is stronger than hate. Be kind and if someone does a good turn to yo,u make sure you pass it on to others - tell them to do the same. If everyone did this think how far it could go towards making the world a better place.

I hope they can have some freedom of speech, movement and are independent thinkers.

Be happy and make a difference

When I look back at previous generations of my family, the challenges they have lived through & the ribbons of love, hope & kindness woven between them, I hope that I have held that ribbon throughout my life & that I can pass onto future generations of my family knowing they will do the same.
We can't all be the cleverest, the most skilled, imaginative, creative or beautiful - but we can always strive to be the kindest we can be, to see the best in those around us & to give all we can in any way that we can. By doing this, we can keep the candle of all that is good in our world alive & burning strong, & drown out the fear, doubt & hate which threaten that beautiful flame.

Be kind
Have respect for yourself and others
Realise that all actions have consequences
Love your family fiercely

An end to greed

I am fortunate to have 2 wonderful grown up daughters 21 and 23. My wife and I have taught them to always treat others with respect and in the same way they would wish to be treated. We have taught them that as long as they do their best sometimes their best will for one reason or another will not be good enough to get the result they want but that there is no shame in that. We have tried teach them that throughout life there will always be challenges, there will be disappointment and on occasions and there will be sadness and pain but we have also taught them that everything happens for a reason and that in most instances something good comes out of every situation - even if you can’t see it at the time. I am so proud to say that both my daughters have ended up working in the NHS - not an easy job at the best of times. The last year has been challenging and difficult for both of them but like so many others - not just those in the NHS they continue to respect everyone, try their best and wait for a time when something good comes out of this situation. Stay safe

Take the long view, sometimes the "old-fashioned" way is better than the modern version and be grateful for friends and family.

Contentment. Anything more is a bonus.

For them to have a happy and healthy life without too many worries along the way.
