In my opinion, it is essential to have a day to celebrate for our parents. On these occasion, children will have a special day to express their feelings, memories and love for their parents. We have an opportunity to enhance family traditions, a chance to bring family members closer.

I think the first Sunday of April is the most suitable day to celebrate because Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study. April is in late spring or early summer, and the weather is generally fine at this time of the year, many activities can happen outdoors. It`s not necessary to have parties but it`s a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all members of the family. Children should give their parents flowers, send them cards, or bring them a special cake. Children should serve their parents the food that they like best.

In conclusion, I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy.
