Parents' Day is a Day for children to honor their parents as a combination of Fathers' Day and Mothers' Day as in South Korea, or it is a Day for Parents to rededicate themselves to their Parenting Duties as in the United States. Parents' Day is observed in the United States, South Korea, and Vietnam at different times of the Year.
In the United States, Parents' Day, also known as National Parents' Day is an official held on the fourth Sunday of July. The bill was introduced by Senator Trent Lott and signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1994. It was established to "recognizing, uplifting, and supporting the role of parents in the rearing of children."
Parents' Day is a faith based holiday, yet religiously diverse, it is desecribed as a day when parents "honor their children and the God-centered family ideal by rededicating themselves to manifest the highest standard of unconditional true love". Most organizations that spread the observance of the holiday, like the National Parents’ Day Coallition, connect it with conservative values like abstinence prior to marriage.
