All private citizens, organizations, and governmental and legislative bodies at the local, State, and Federal level are encouraged to recognize Parents Day through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts in furtherance of recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of their children. Parents Day serves as a catalyst for creating awareness, programs, events and activities to support parents, strengthen families and build communities.
Parents constantly face new challenges in rearing their children.
Recent studies show that today s parents feel that they are doing a worse job of raising their children than their parents. This day of recognition serves to honor parents for the good things that they are doing and to encourage and support them. It is to make them aware of the important role that they play in not only raising their children, but the future leaders of our nation.
