National Love Our Children Day

National Love Our Children Day is an American holiday dedicated to loving our children. In addition to a day when parents do everything they can to make a child as happy and joyful as possible, the holiday is also designed to raise awareness of the problem of child abuse. It is celebrated every year on the first Saturday in April.

History

For the creation of this holiday, we have to thank Love Our Children USA, which established National Love Our Children Day in 2004. The goal of the holiday is to eliminate violence against children in all forms and manifestations around the world. On this day a lot of support is given to orphanages, large-scale adoption events are held.

Throughout the day, radio and television broadcast various programs that talk about children. Charity companies also become active, raising money for the treatment of seriously ill children.

As mentioned earlier, efforts to combat child abuse have various strands. The organization created the Stomp Out Bullying program, which aims to prevent and eradicate bullying of children online, at school and in various children’s groups.
