Respect for Parents Day | August 1

#respectforparentsday

Parents provide their children with the first expression of love and a sense of stability.. Parents and fosterers, parents, create a foundation for leading and teaching children to be responsible. Each parent provides a form of communication as well as a way of making decisions and correcting mistakes.

A parent's involvement in the neighborhood is also vital...

Respect for Parents Day was born in an attempt to "make our families become united and strong by recognizing the leadership roles that parents play and restoring the reverence for parents that was lacking in the past." These are the words of Marilyn Dalrymple of Lancaster, CA, as she created the day, which is observed on August 1st.
