Respect for Parents Day can be a great way to start teaching your children respect and to bring it into your home. To recognize all parents around the globe for their unselfish commitment to their children and their lifetime sacrifices in nurturing this relationship.

Many believe the holiday may have been born out of the human desire to remember and to appreciate the parents’ love and support. Bill Clinton, the former US President, was instrumental in bringing the Parents’ Day celebration to America in 1994. Numerous organizations, local governments and other communities support Parents’ Day with various games and activities.

The Parents’ Day Council of local bodies nominates parents to the “Parents of the year” award. Nominations for the “National Parents of the year” award go to the ideal parents of each state. The United Civil Rights Councils of America have organized rallies and proclamations for Parents’ Day in recent days.

These are some ways that you can teach your kids how to respect you. Look at how you behave. Do you show respect for others? Are you being disrespectful to your children? You must show respect to your children if you want them to behave respectfully. Respect must be shown to your children and you should expect the same in return. You may not realize how much your children learn from you. When you’re with children, be aware of your behavior, words, tone, and actions.

Parents’ Day is a national holiday, but it is not a federal holiday. This day is to recognize the love, respect and sacrifice shown by these two important people in every person’s life. Spend the day with your parents. Show your parents how much you love them. You could help them around the house or give them a small gift. You can take them to a nice meal and pay for their meals. You could take them to a show. You could even take them to a zoo. There are many creative ways you can show your respect.
