Global Day of Parents
June 1 · Level 4 · #1355 of 2238
The UN's Global Day of Parents recognizes the daily work of raising and caring for children. It highlights the patience, time and support that parenting requires, often far from public attention.
How it is celebrated: community organizations hold discussions and awareness campaigns about parenting and support for families. At home, people may thank their parents or spend time together; there is no prescribed ceremony or gift.
It shares its date with International Children's Day, observed in many countries. The calendar brings recognition for parents together with a reminder of the rights and needs of the children in their care.
