#sonsanddaughtersday
Let your children know that you are glad they are a part of your family's life. Family stories are often overlooked when listening to the events of their day. Find out about their hopes and aspirations.. Find out what inspires them. Teach them something new, or perhaps they can show you something new. Every day you have with them and spend as much quality time as you can.
Our children's time with them can be fleeting.. Not only do they grow quickly, but their interests and needs change as well. Sons and daughters, whether we like it or not, look up to us. They imitate our behavior, both positive and negative. Children don't change as much as times change, but they don't change. We desperately needed our parent's approval and acceptance. Our children do, too.
Every child is unique. Their personalities are perfectly suited to them. While one child devours books, another will deconstruct every electronic appliance in the house. We're up for long road trips, and the night owl keeps us up to everything under the stars. No two are the same. That's just how it's supposed to be. Celebrate them and the roles they play in your family..
How to track your son's and daughter's day
Today, do something special for your children. If they are at home, go for a walk, or enjoy a local park. To grown children, send a card or make a phone call. Remind them how special they are to you.. On social media, use the hashtag #SonsAndDaughtersDay..
According to an article in the August 20, 1944, St. Joseph News-Press/Gazette, J Henry Dusenberry first explored the prospect of a Sons' and Daughters' Day.. After a child ask why there was no such occasion, he wondered what it was. The day began in Missouri and spread through his efforts by Bill Johnson. Each of their children's flowers were placed in a vase and placed in a prominent room in the house. Parents wondered about their children as they gazed at the flowers throughout the day, particularly those who no longer lived in the house. The celebration reached its high point in 22 states with organizations participating in the event by 1945.
In the coming years, Lions Club and women's auxiliaries, among other groups, will celebrate Sons and Daughters Day in their locales. However, these observances will change from year to year.
In 1972, Florida congressman Claude Pepper submitted a request for the establishment of a Sons' and Daughters' Day on behalf of Georgia Paul of Del Rio, Texas. According to the Del Rio News-Herald, October 28, 1972, the request stated that the proclamation would be held on Sunday in January every year. Nevertheless, neither the House nor the Senate signed a bill or joint resolution to announce the day.
