National Love Our Children Day

National Love Our Children Day is an American holiday dedicated to loving and cherishing our children. In addition to being a day when parents focus on making their children as happy and joyful as possible, the holiday also aims to raise awareness about the issue of child abuse. It is observed every year on the first Saturday in April.

History

We have Love Our Children USA to thank for the creation of this holiday. National Love Our Children Day was established in 2004 with the goal of eliminating violence against children in all forms and manifestations around the world. On this day, significant support is given to orphanages, and large-scale adoption events are held.

Throughout the day, radio and television broadcast various programs that highlight issues related to children. Charity organizations also become active, raising funds for the treatment of seriously ill children.

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