Did you know that Grandparents Day is a national holiday or observance, celebrated each year on the first Sunday after Labor Day? This year it will be on Sunday, September 13.
“The official purpose of Grandparents Day is :
”To honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children’s children, and to help children become aware of the strength, information, and guidance older people can offer.””
This is a great time to encourage your kids to do something special for their grandparents - or an aunt, uncle or older person in the community! If grandparents or other older relatives live far away, encourage them to write letters.Teaching your children to look out for others is an important life skill.
