parents' day is july 27th, 2008

Parental figures in the United States will receive the recognition for the role they play in their children’s lives on Parents’ Day on July 27, 2008. The day aims to promote responsible parenting and to recognize positive parental role models. It celebrates the special bonds of love between parental figures and their children. Every 4th Sunday in July is National Parents' Day. Here are some fun ways to celebrate in your household:

What Kids Can Do:
  • A note left on their pillow at night
  • Breakfast in bed
  • Tea or coffee brought to them anytime
  • The laundry folded
  • A younger brother or sister's room cleaned
  • Flowers or branches put in vases around the house
  • Call a family meeting and ask the children to say what they appreciate about their parents
  • Volunteer to do something without being asked
  • Clean out the car
  • Give a big hug and say I love you
  • Draw a picture of your parents.
  • Write a special poem for your parents: Or give children questions about their parents for them to finish, such as "I love it when my mom and dad..........." Draw pictures to go with the poems or stories and make a book.
