- Parents Day History
‘Parents Day’ was officially established by former US president, Bill Clinton, in 1994. During his presidential term in the White House, Clinton felt that although fathers’ day and mothers’ day were in existence, he strongly felt the urge of having a specific day to commemorate the effort of both the parents together in raising a child. He signed a law that was unanimously agreed upon by the congress. The fourth Sunday of July was declared as ‘National Parents Day‘. - Significance Of Parents Day
In today’s society, observing Parent’s day is not only meant to celebrate parenthood, but has a special significance as well. As we look around us, we can notice rapidly changing society where divorce takes place as frequently as weddings. In such a scenario where families are breaking down fast, celebrating Parent’s day put forward the importance of parents in society. It also upholds the idea that a child should be raised together by both the parents. The day also helps us understand the importance of parents in a family and in the society. According to the Congress resolution, Parents Day is celebrated to “recognize, uplift, and support the role of parents in the rearing of children.” - Parents Day Celebration
