National Son and Daughter Day

When it comes to holidays, Aug. 11 not only celebrates famous presidential faux pas and blunders, but also celebrates one of life's most special relationships. It's Son and Daughter Day, also referred to as Son's and Daughter's Day and/or National Son and Daughter Day.

Son's and Daughter's Day is an annual holiday that celebrates and recognizes the very special bond we have with those most near-and-dear to our hearts, our children. While many of us are overworked and just plain stressed out, Son and Daughter Day reminds us to slow things down a little. Life is short. We need to cherish every moment we have with our kids because before you know it, they will be all grown up and out on their own and beginning their own journey.
