Therefore, this National Sons Day let us take a pledge that all the boys should get the respect they deserve and recognition for whatever they do on daily basis to keep their parents and friends happy.

The idea to celebrate son’s day resurfaced in 2018 by the hand of Jill Nico, who wanted a day to honour sons and the people who raised them, much like National Daughters Day. As such, since 2018 many have also chosen to celebrate National Sons Day on March 4. However, historically, National Sons Day has been widely celebrated on September 28. This year too, National Sons Day 2022 will fall on September 28 (Wednesday).

Significance Of Celebrating National Sons Day

To observe National Sons Day, one can have a meaningful conversation with their boy child. A son can be a grown-up adult or he can be a standard six student. What's more important is the fact that how we see the males around us. It is often said that one dirty fish spoils the whole pond, just because society has some bad apples, doesn't mean everybody would be in the same room. Men have struggled with the stereotype of showing strength without fear or compassion. This National Sons Day, make sure that you explain to your child that it's okay to cry and vent out the feelings because crying isn't a gender-specific activity.

We need to redefine the whole concept of being a good son and a bad son. On Sons Day tell your child that you understand their ambitions and goals and their opinions are equally important. At a developmental age, a boy child needs proper attention and consideration from his father and mother, equally.  The lack of a mother or father figure can be attributed to developmental issues in later years. It’s those little pearls of wisdom doled out by the parents that make a lifelong impression on the child.
