Parents' Day is a special observance celebrated in the United States on the fourth Sunday of July. It was established to honor and recognize the important role that parents play in the upbringing and development of their children. The day encourages families to express gratitude and appreciation for the love and support provided by parents. The idea of Parents' Day was first proposed in 1994 by President Bill Clinton, who signed a resolution into law. This observance is often marked by family gatherings, cards, and gifts, allowing children to show their appreciation for their mothers and fathers.
