**September 27, 2024** – If your social media feed was recently awash in tributes to daughters, don’t think the boys have been left out. This Sunday, September 28th, marks a day for parents to shower their sons with appreciation for National Sons Day.
But wait, haven’t we done this already? Indeed! While many are preparing to celebrate, it appears there’s some confusion around the official date.
National Sons Day was originally founded by Jill Nico and officially recognized on **March 4, 2018**, with the aim of fostering open communication between parents and their sons. However, social media has seemingly adopted September 28th as a second date for the celebration.
While the origins of the September date remain somewhat unclear, with some speculating it’s a response to National Daughter’s Day falling earlier in the month on September 25th, The National Today Calendar only recognizes the March 4th date.
Regardless of which date you choose to acknowledge, the sentiment remains the same: National Sons Day is a chance to spend quality time with your sons, have meaningful conversations, and let them know how much they are loved and appreciated. Consider planning a fun activity or simply sharing some heartfelt words to show your support.
