Parents’ Day promotes the message that the role of the parent is important in human development. It requires investment, focus, and commitment. In 1994, President Bill Clinton signed into law a resolution adopted by the US Congress to establish the fourth Sunday of every July as Parents' Day. Parental figures in the United States receive the recognition for the role they play in their children’s lives. Parents’ Day aims to promote responsible parenting and to recognize positive parental role models. It celebrates the special bonds of love between parental figures and their children.
