SUMMARY:National Sons Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on March 4th\, National Sons Day honors the sons of the world and those who raise them. The day also takes a look at a son’s role and his relationship with those around him. \nAround the world\, slightly more sons are born than daughters. Both bring joy to families\, though. Our rambunctious sons grow into adult men and forge their own independence in the world. Some are soft-spoken and gentle. Others with a spark of curiosity fill every hour with questions\, some unanswerable. \nParents and family members strive to mold them into a person better than we are. Sons\, like many children\, test the boundaries until one day\, they stand before us\, grown. National Sons Day encourages parents to be role models and provide the boundaries sons need. Celebrate their successes while guiding them through their failures. Give them a foundation of skills that they will rely on for a lifetime and pass on to their sons. \nEach day as a son and the parent of one is a treasure. Boys need us to model responsibility\, hard work\, and integrity. As they work and learn beside us\, those qualities will be instilled in them. The day reminds us of the value our sons bring to our lives and others. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE #NationalSonsDay\n\nConsider all the things you want your son to know and be when he’s an adult.\nTake the day to teach your son something you think is important for him to know. Change a tire or balance the checkbook. The small tasks\, the mundane ones are the ones that get in the way when we don’t know how to do them. Bond over the experience by letting him know you teach him these skills to clear a path for the bigger events in his life.\nJoin an organization for mentoring boys without male role models.\nFind a role model that fits the interests of your son.\nTeach your son something your father taught you.\nOffer to give a skills class at a school.\nMake the day unique by taking a photograph with all the sons together and share on social media using #NationalSonsDay.\n\n\n\n \nNATIONAL SONS DAY HISTORY\nIn 2018\, Jill Nico created National Sons Day celebrating the importance and significance of sons and those who raise them. While there’s no single reason for selecting March 4th\, the founder explains spring seemed ideal\, and the date resounds with momentum when spoken. Additionally\, many sons enjoy spring sports\, and it’s an excellent time to spend time outdoors. Visit the Facebook page to join in the celebration. \nIn the late 1990s\, an effort to create National Sons Day began as a counterpart to National Take Your Daughters to Work Day. By 1998\, the group called National Sons Day created National Take Your Sons to Work Day. In later years\, the separate observances joined forces. \nSource Link
