Parent's Day
Parent’s Day
Parent’s Day is a national holiday in the United States that honors the essential role of both mothers and fathers in nurturing and guiding children. Created to complement Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, it emphasizes the combined efforts of parents in raising responsible citizens. Recognized annually on the fourth Sunday in July, the day promotes parental responsibility and support for strong family values.
One amusing story from Parent’s Day history involves public confusion when the holiday first launched—many people thought it was just a rebranded Mother’s Day. However, advocates insisted the day was about teamwork, not replacing existing celebrations. Over time, the holiday gained traction as a unique and meaningful way to appreciate both parents equally.
- National Parents' Day was established in 1994 by President Bill Clinton, who signed a Congressional Resolution setting the fourth Sunday in July as the holiday.
- The holiday’s origins trace back to a resolution introduced by Republican Senator Trent Lott of Mississippi.
- Parent’s Day is now observed every year on the fourth Sunday in July, encouraging recognition of shared parenting roles.
