August 1 Respect for Parents Day

Parents Day is celebrated annually on August 1. In an effort to “make our families become united and strong by recognizing the leadership roles parents have, and to reinstate the respect for parents that was evident in the past,” RESPECT FOR PARENTS DAY was born.

This day is used to honor the love, respect, sacrifice and affection shown by the two very important persons in the life of every individual. Go spend the day with your parents. Show them how much you respect them. Help them around the house and maybe get them a card or small gift to let them know you were thinking of them. You could take them out to a nice dinner and pay for them. Take them to a show. Maybe even take them to the zoo. There are so many creative ways to show them respect.
