Global Day of Parents

What Parents Do

Parents are our first teachers. They teach us to speak, walk, and behave. They help us with our school and studies, encourage us when we feel low, and cheer for us when we do well. They also teach us important values of life like honesty, kindness, and patience. Even though every parent may raise their child differently, the love they give is the same- deep and never ending. 

Celebration

People celebrate this day in various ways. Some spend the entire day with them, go for an evening walk or just share some old memories. Some children write letters or poems to their parents and express their feelings. Some others make prepare hand-made gifts, cook their favourite food items, or buy them special gifts. School children draw pictures, write letters and poems, or even sing songs to express how thankful they are. 

Challenges of Parenthood

Parenting was never an easy task. Every parent was a child and teenager once and became a parent for the first time. That is why, Parents usually face more difficulties in handling the first born. In today’s life parenting has become more difficult. Life is busy and full of challenges. Many parents work full-time and still try their best to spend quality time with their children.  The fast-growing world of technology, long working hours, and rising living costs make things harder. 

Some parents struggle to balance work and family. Others find it tough to guide their children in the age of mobile phones and the internet. Still, most parents do their best every day. This day helps raise awareness about these struggles and reminds everyone- governments, schools, workplaces, that supporting parents helps build stronger families and happier children. This in turn will help raise youth of the country. 

Making Parents Feel Special

There are many ways to make parents feel special. It is also easy because parents do not demand or expect expensive or grand things from us. Small token of love or simple ways that help to express and show love make them happy and satisfied. And sometimes, small things really matter the most: 

1. Write a note: A small message like “Thank you” or “I love you” that expresses what you truly feel can mean a lot to them. 

1. Help at home: Doing chores and helping at home with small tasks without being asked shows how much you truly care and respect them. 

1. Cook a meal: Cook their favourite breakfast or lunch. Even a simple cup of tea or coffee made with love can bring a huge smile on their faces. 

1. Express in your own way: Write letters, poems, paragraphs or anything that will help you express your feeling. Paint or sketch them or simply tell them in your own voice how much you care for them.

1. Spend time: The best way to celebrate this day is to spend time together. Watch a movie, discuss about their favourite books and authors, go out for a walk, share a meal together, play games, and listen to them more.

Why This Day Matters

In our busy and hectic lives, we often forget how much our parents have done for us. This day gives us a chance to stop and think. Without their love and support, we wouldn’t be who we are today. It’s also a day to remember that not all parents have it easy. Some may be raising children alone being a single parent. Others may be struggling financially. This is a day to remember, support, and uplift all kinds of parents.

Global Day of Parents is more than just a celebration- it's a gentle reminder. It reminds us to respect, love, and thank the people who stood by us through thick and thin. It should never be limited to a single day but all year round. Carry the love, care, gratitude, and respect every day and express in small acts and gestures, which you may forget but your parents will remember.
