Watch this celebration of our sons on National Sons Day
September 28 is National Sons Day, a chance for parents to celebrate their boys. However, if you think we've already done that, you’re right! National Sons Day comes around twice a year, the first time is in March.
Why the double dip? Well, some blame social media, as the two dates came about in the age of the influencers, some of whom chose March to celebrate while others chose September. Either way, National Sons Day is not a public holiday, so there’s no reason for anyone to object to two celebrations.

The goal of National Sons Day is to recognize the unique bond that parents share with their sons. But it goes beyond that. The day is also about highlighting the need to love and nurture our sons so that the men of tomorrow are equipped to help make the world a better place.
The important thing is to spend time with our sons, talk with our sons, and listen to our sons. And if parents want to throw in a little gift or a fun activity, well that’s okay too.
