WHY WE CELEBRATE THE DAY?
The family, the natural and fundamental group unit of society, is grounded in the unique role and primary responsibility of parents. When mothers and fathers nurture and protect their children, the benefits for children and society are undeniable. A recent study shows that parents who actively interact with children help them develop crucial cognitive skills, life skills, and eventually thrive to be successful. Parents contribute to developing focus, concentration, and self-control in their children. They also improve critical thinking, empathy, perspective, making connections, and communicating. With a supportive parent, a child never regrets taking risks and this prepares a self-directed child. Parents' interactions have a huge impact on the child’s development, be it physical or mental.
