National Sons Day is observed in the United States on March 4 and September 28, with March 4 being the official date. The holiday celebrates sons and emphasizes the importance of raising them positively, highlighting the role of both male and female role models in fostering empathy and breaking down gender stereotypes. The origins of National Sons Day can be traced back to the 1992 launch of Take Our Daughters to Work Day by the Ms. Foundation for Women, which later led to the establishment of an organization by middle school students in New Jersey promoting Take Our Sons to Work Day. In 2018, Jill Nico created a new National Sons Day on March 4 to clarify the celebration and chose the date for its energetic connotation and the spring season, which is a time when many boys participate in outdoor activities. Families typically celebrate by spending quality time together, engaging in favorite activities, or teaching new skills. Although neither date is officially recognized by the U.S. government, people are encouraged to celebrate sons throughout the year.
