Child’s Day
April 20, 2010
Editor-in-Chief Phyllis Hoffman Depiano of Victoria magazine wrote in the May/June issue about a fantastic holiday she and a friend created when their children were growing up, Child’s Day.
It all came about when Phyllis’ six-year-old twin sons noticed that the calendar prompts the world to celebrate moms and dads, and grandparents, but not children.
They were right!
We also honor teachers, secretaries, and bosses. So, why don’t we hold a yearly observance for the children in our lives?
Phyllis and her friend chose June 30.
Every year these two Moms had set this date aside to mark their childrens’ importance. An outing, games, a bag full of goodies and trinkets was all it took. How special they must have felt on Child’s Day . . . and for how Phyllis listened to her little boys and took action in a way that said I heard you. I love you. Now that’s worth celebrating.
