June 1 is celebrated as global or world parents day each year.
This was first declared by the General Assembly.
This is “to appreciate all parents in all parts of the world for their selfless commitment to children and their lifelong sacrifice towards nurturing this relationship”.
It is also to show appreciation towards parents for their commitment to raising a family.
Consequently, it commemorates parents strengthening the bond of love.
The aim of this day is to thus create an atmosphere of happiness and understanding between family members.
June 1 is celebrated as such as it was the day General Assembly proclaimed this notion.
Typically, children show their affection towards their parents on this day.
They do so by giving them gifts, greeting cards, and so on.
The aim is to make parents happy on this day and make them feel honoured.
