This year’s National Parents’ Day is on July 28, which is the fourth Sunday of July, and it honors all parents. This day honors our parents, wherever they are, and reflects on the important role they play in our lives. Mothers were honored in May, and fathers were honored in June. As a result, we can gather our parents together in July and express our heartfelt gratitude to them together.
National Parents Day 2024: Significance
From childhood, children look to their parents for protection, education, sustenance and role models. As members of the family, children expect guidance from their parents, emulate their actions and learn to play essential roles in their communities. Parents help us become self-reliant, self-thinking individuals throughout our lives, which can be difficult in such a fast-changing world. Parents often have never-ending worries and restless nights. We honor all parents on this special Sunday who do everything possible to raise and protect their children. Many events and activities are organized to honor, celebrate and encourage the role parents play in raising their children.
National Parents Day 2024: History
The most precious gift from nature is our parents, who have a significant contribution in our lives. Their involvement is essential for the development and growth of a child. The purpose of National Parents’ Day, which was established by President Bill Clinton in 1994 as a result of a congressional resolution sponsored by Republican Senator Trent Lott, is to promote responsible parenting and encourage parents to provide positive reinforcement to their children. The day honors the unbreakable love that exists between parents and their children, as well as the sacrifices made by parents. It coincides with the dates of Father’s Day in June and Mother’s Day in May, as it is celebrated in July.
