How to Observe National Grandparents Day

National Grandparents Day is about promoting intergenerational relationships. If your grandparents are still living, the day is best celebrated with them. If you are a grandparent, the day is best celebrated by spending the day with your grandchildren. If you are a parent of young children and your parents are still living, it’s a great day to help set up something fun for your parents to do with your children! If you can’t be with your loved one on this day, take some time to call them or write them a handwritten letter!

More on the day

National Grandparents Day, celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day in the United States, is a special occasion to honor and appreciate the contributions of grandparents to families and society. It was founded in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter, following the efforts of Marian McQuade, a West Virginia housewife who wanted to emphasize the important role grandparents play in nurturing family traditions, values, and history. McQuade was inspired by her own experiences in a large family, recognizing the unique bond between generations and the wisdom that grandparents offer.

The day provides an opportunity to express gratitude for the love, guidance, and support that grandparents give. It encourages younger generations to reflect on the invaluable life lessons passed down through storytelling, advice, and shared experiences. National Grandparents Day serves as a reminder of the significance of family heritage and the deep connections across generations.

Celebrations of the day can range from small family gatherings and phone calls to cards, gifts, and even community events, where families come together to share memories and honor their grandparents. Schools and organizations often participate by encouraging children to create art or write letters to their grandparents, fostering intergenerational bonds.

More than a celebration, National Grandparents Day also advocates for the care and well-being of elderly family members. It raises awareness about the challenges many seniors face, including isolation and health concerns, and encourages communities to support them. Ultimately, the day highlights the vital role grandparents play in shaping the lives of their grandchildren and the broader community, offering both love and wisdom across generations.
