Parents’ Day

Parents’ Day is dedicated to the dearest people who loved and cared for us even before we were born. Parents do the impossible for their children, and their care does not decrease when we grow up. Every year on the fourth Sunday of July, we honor our mothers and fathers.

History

The holiday was established by US President Bill Clinton in 1994. A Congressional resolution was signed recognizing and elevating the role of parents. It is obvious they support children and help them in their development and socialization. The mission of the holiday is not only to honor those who gave us life but also to promote a responsible attitude towards creating a family and raising children.

On this day, we also remember the other side of this topic – children who are forced to grow up without parental love and attention.
