What is National Sons Day?
Every year on March 4th, National Sons Day honors the sons of the world and those who raise them. The day also includes a look at a son's career and his friendship with those around him.
Around the world, only slightly more sons are born than daughters. Both bring joy to families, though. Our rambunctious sons grow into adult men and forge their own nationalism in the world. Some are soft-spoken and delicate. Some with a flurry of curiosity fill every hour with questions, some unanswerable.
Parents and family members continue to mold them into a person who is more than us. Sons, like many children, test the boundaries until one day, they stand before us, grown. Parents are encouraged to be role models and provide the boundaries that sons need on National Sons Day. Celebrate their successes while still guiding them through their failures. Give them a foundation of skills that they can rely on for a lifetime and pass on to their sons.
Each day as a son and the parent of one is a treasure. Boys need us to model responsibility, hard work, and integrity. These skills will be instilled in them as they work and learn alongside us. The day reminds us of the importance our sons bring to our lives and others.
