National Parents Day celebrates the value of good parenting

Parenting may well be the most important job in the world. Teaching, guiding, listening, cheerleading, comforting, disciplining, and more is a massive undertaking. That’s why, in 1994, Congress passed “The Parents’ Day Resolution,” designating the fourth Sunday of July as a day to recognize and celebrate the importance of parenthood in building a strong and stable society.

National Parents Day may not come with the same fanfare as Mother’s or Father’s Day, and it’s not about gift-giving. Instead, it’s an invitation for parents and kids to spend time together and share in the mutual appreciation of good parenting and how it helps shape the next generation of Americans.
