American-inspired World Father's Day is celebrated every third Sunday in June (June 19, 2022). The father, grandfather or great-grandfather are honored with gifts from the whole family. The inspirer of World Father's Day was the American Sonora Smart-Dodd, who wanted to establish a celebration similar to Mother's Day, in order to honor the father of William Smart, a veteran of the American Civil War, who raised only 6 children. family.
The first celebration of Father's Day took place on June 19, 1910 in Spoken, Washington, where the Smart family lived. It remained a local event for many years until 1966, when then-President Lyndon Johnson issued a decree declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. It has been a matter of years since the celebration crossed the American border and became international.
Today is Father's Day, although many are unaware of its existence. Even some who know her do not even remember that it is the third Sunday in June. "Father's Day" was established as a holiday by the association of divorced men, due to the disrepute they faced in the courts, regarding the custody of children after divorce.
So the father is too much in one. He may be away from home all day, he may be overwhelmed with chores from work, he may be anxious about how the obligations of the month will turn out, but he is the first and timeless model of the boy. And the first man in the girl's life.
He is the one who, in any scandal, will "raise" the tone of his voice, but in the next second he will tighten his angel in his big arms. He is the one to whom he goes to ask for what he wants, because he knows that he can not deny him and he will do him a favor. Because, as my father says, "the father's heart" does everything!
The presence of the father is very important to the child. It exudes a confidence for the future, and that every difficulty will be overcome. Although in most cases, he is a very serious and strict judge, he is also the one who always finds time for a game in the yard or on the console. Even for a beer on the balcony during adolescence.
The father is there, for any kind of conversation. Always willing to listen, inform, advise and give him guidelines. He can talk to his son about football, his school performance, work issues, his future plans and any concerns he may have about the other hand. And with the daughter, however, nothing changes. She can talk about dancing and ballet, of course about her lessons, her dreams and ambitions, what dress she will wear to Saturday party. Until, and what she will do with George that she likes, but he does not care.
It is so important in a child's life that his absence brings problems. Problems, such as not being easily open to friends and being afraid to create or join new ones. They are less sociable, appear insecure and anxious with low self-esteem. In particular, men lack the male role model, which is why they are more "feminine". They are also not independent.
