When is Father's Day?

The third Sunday in June is Father's Day. Compared with Mother's Day, Father's Day is a relatively unfamiliar festival, which was initiated by Mrs. Dodd in Spokane, Washington, USA on 19 10.

The origin of Father's Day in China can be traced back to the national era. On August 8, 1934, Wen Ren College held a celebration of Father's Day. The citizens responded immediately and held a warm celebration. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, celebrities and gentry from all walks of life in Shanghai jointly requested the Shanghai Municipal Government to convey it to the central government, and designated August 8th as the National Father's Day.

Although celebrating Father's Day today is not as important and lively as Mother's Day, God teaches us to care about our parents in the Bible. When our mother takes great pains to take care of us, our father is also trying to play the gentle role given to him by God. Perhaps when we are trying to think about what kind of gift to buy for our father on Father's Day, we might as well reflect on whether we love our father, because he has selflessly dedicated his life to us.

The origin of father's day

The first statement:

The first Father's Day in the world was born in the United States in 19 10.

Mrs. Dodd (1909) lives in Spokane, Washington, USA. After attending the Sunday worship of Mother's Day held by the church, Mrs. Dodd had a deep feeling in his heart. She thought to herself, "Why isn't there a festival in memory of her father?"

Mrs. Dodd's mother died when she was thirteen, leaving six children. Mrs. Dodd's father, Mr William smart, raised six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington, USA. Mr smart took part in the American civil war, and his achievements were shown off. After his wife died, he decided not to have a second wife and took care of his six children wholeheartedly.

The second child, Mrs. Dodd, is the only girl in the family. A woman's meticulous nature makes her more aware of her father's hard work. Mr. Smart works hard during the day and takes care of the housework and the life of every child when he comes home at night. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. Just as the children were looking forward to letting Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart fell ill and died because of years of overwork.

1909 This year happened to be the year when Mr. Smar died. When Mrs. Dodd attended the Mother's Day Thanksgiving service in the church, she especially missed her father. Only then did Mrs. Dodd realize that in the process of raising children, her father's love and efforts were no less than any mother's.

Mrs. Dodd told Pastor Rasmus about her feelings, hoping to have a special day to pay tribute to the great Mr. Smart and commemorate the great father in the world.

After listening to Mr Smart's story, Pastor remus was deeply moved by Mr Smart's spirit and love. He praised and supported Mrs. Dodd's efforts to promote Father's Day. So Mrs. Dodd began to promote the establishment of Father's Day in the spring of 19 10, and soon got the support of various church organizations; She immediately wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her thoughts and suggestions. Thanks to Mrs. Dodd's efforts, the mayor of Spokane and governor of washington publicly agreed, so Washington held the world's first Father's Day party on June 19 19.

1924, US President johncalvin coolidge supported Father's Day as a national holiday. 1966, President Zhan Sen declared the third Sunday in June of that year, that is, Mr. Smart's birthday month, as American Father's Day. 1972, US President Richard Nixon signed an official document, which designated the third Sunday in June as the National Father's Day and became a permanent national memorial day in the United States.

The second statement:

The idea of a day to commemorate mother was first put forward in the United States in 1907. Two years later, a woman in Washington State, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, suggested that there should be a day similar to Mother's Day to pay tribute to her father. Mrs. Dodd lost her mother when she was young and was brought up by her father. She loves her father very much.

In the same year that Mrs Dodd put forward her idea (1909), the governor of Washington responded by declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. This idea was officially approved by President Wood Wilson in 1996. 1924, President John Calvin Coolidge suggested making Father's Day a national holiday, so as to "establish a closer relationship between fathers and children and remind fathers of all their responsibilities". Red roses or white roses are considered as Father's Day flowers.

Father's Day is established as a holiday throughout the United States, which is longer than Mother's Day. Because the idea of establishing Father's Day is very popular, businessmen and manufacturers are beginning to see business opportunities. They not only encourage children to send greeting cards to their fathers, but also encourage them to buy small gifts such as ties and socks to show their respect for their fathers.

During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Britain asked to send Father's Day cards back to China. The American soldier's request was answered by the British greeting card publisher, and the greeting card was printed. Although the British public's acceptance of this artificial festival has been low, today, Father's Day is also celebrated on the third Sunday in June in Britain, which is similar to the way in the United States.

Father's Day seems far less important than Mother's Day. No children give gifts to their fathers. However, American fathers still think their fate is much stronger than that of fathers in many other countries, because fathers in those countries don't even have a nominal holiday.

Father's day custom

On Father's Day, people choose some flowers to show their respect for their fathers. People adopted Mrs. Dodd's suggestion, wearing red roses to express their love for their living fathers and white roses to express their condolences for their dead fathers. Later in Vancouver, people chose to wear white lilacs, and Pennsylvania people used dandelions to show their respect for their fathers. Red roses or white roses are considered as Father's Day flowers. Father's Day is established as a holiday throughout the United States, which is longer than Mother's Day. Because the idea of establishing Father's Day is very popular, businessmen and manufacturers are beginning to see business opportunities. They not only encourage children to send greeting cards to their fathers, but also encourage them to buy small gifts such as ties and socks to show their respect for their fathers.

Besides, the breakfast on Father's Day is made by children, so parents don't have to get up early and can continue to sleep. Children make breakfast and take it to their parents before going to bed.

Father's influence

The size of father's influence mainly depends on three factors, the first is father's personality. During the Five Dynasties of Saint Amethyst, all five sons of Dou Yanshan entered the dynasty, which was typical of successful fathers at that time. Before he became a father, he used to be a scheming businessman, but later he became a respected good man. This is the story of successfully raising five sons. From his story, we can see how much the father's personality affects his children. Secondly, the size of father's influence depends on his position in society. Finally, it depends on the father's position in the family.

The advantage of a father is that he is open-minded, has a wider scope of practice than his mother, and is more rational and far-sighted on some major issues. Moreover, mature fathers are very adaptable. So I think the role of father in the family is mainly two. One is to establish a good family style, and the other is to be a good director of family relations. Father doesn't have to care about everything like mother, but he must be able to ease family conflicts and reduce conflicts at critical times. As a father, I think I also pay attention to "doing something and not doing something".

The role of father in the family is still in the transition period in China. In the history of China, it was emphasized that "men dominate the outside and women dominate the inside". Economic status determines that father's status is higher than mother's. In addition, the traditional model of "loving mother in strict father" causes children to be afraid of their father and feel psychologically distant from him. Even now, we often hear mothers reprimand their children and say, "If you don't listen, I'll go back and tell your father!" " "

However, this situation is gradually decreasing in cities. On the contrary, with the continuous improvement of women's status today, the situation that fathers overindulge and indulge their children is gradually increasing. Not long ago, I conducted a questionnaire survey among junior and senior high school students in Beijing. According to the survey data, 33.9% people were over-protected by their fathers, and 30.4% people were over-interfered by their fathers. Most of them are completely concerned about the material aspects of their children, but their spiritual care is obviously insufficient.

I am most afraid of children saying that I am useless. In our interview survey, fathers and prospective fathers said that being called "useless and cowardly" by their children was the last thing they wanted to hear.

40% of the fathers surveyed felt a kind of pressure that they had never felt before after the birth of their children, and what they were most worried about was doing nothing in their careers. When their children grow up, they will think they are incompetent. 34% of the fathers surveyed said that after the birth of their children, they are no longer "heroes" and can hide when they can, so they are most worried about being seen by their children and calling themselves cowards. 34% of fathers and prospective fathers are most worried about quarreling in front of their children.

Learn to be grateful and advocate filial piety.

Life is a kind of luck, life is a miracle. Life is so insignificant in the vast universe, but it is the most precious wealth that parents give us. Since the birth of a child, parents have been looking forward to his wonderful life, being busy and working hard for him. It is a willing dedication, a great consciousness, and a sea of kindness formed by Qian Qian's thousands of loves.

"Poor wind." Who can feel the father's happy touch when the fetus is restless? Who can feel the pain endured by a mother after giving birth to a child? When the baby was born, the parents were full of excited laughter; Parents show the most patience when babies are crying in infancy; When we babbled and shouted the first words "Dad" and "Mom", our parents gave us countless kisses in return. When we are frustrated or full of grievances, parents' relief will heal our spiritual wounds in time and give us the courage to stand up again ... It can be said that parents' love brings us endless happiness, parents' love accompanies us to grow up healthily, and parents are the "gods" who protect our lives.

"Zhu Dexiao comes first." Parents' selfless love does not expect any return, but children can't forget their roots, lose a grateful heart, and lack the will and action to honor their parents. Parents need our help and support when they enter middle age and get old gradually. When you bring the first fried egg to your parents, they feel very fragrant; When you bring a cup of hot tea to your exhausted parents who come back from work, they drink it very sweetly. When you learn to wash clothes, get up, fold the quilt and tidy up the house, your parents will think that you have grown up ... filial piety is a kind of affection, a kind of love, a virtue, a note of family harmony and social harmony, and a moral code that all children in the world should follow.

"Filial piety is the foundation of virtue." From filial piety, it is fraternity, that is, learning to love others, the people, the motherland and mankind. Everyone was born in his hometown and grew up in a big family in the motherland. He should drink water to think of his source and repay his kindness. He should have mulberry feelings and a childlike innocence. When he grows up, he should serve his hometown, motherland and people. Extending from filial piety, an upright person should also understand his social responsibilities: helping the poor, eliminating evil and promoting good, making the world full of love, making the society full of truth, goodness and beauty, and making people live in a warm and harmonious environment. This is filial piety, this is filial piety in the world, and this is "the world is for the public."

My father is under great pressure and my family is too close.

"Father loves a mountain", what can we do for a father who is under great pressure? Father's Day is in a few days. With the concern of many readers for his father's physical and mental health, the reporter interviewed some doctors and experts, calling on everyone to pay attention to his father's mental health and give gratitude as a gift to his father.

Young father:

Learn to be tolerant and complete the role transformation

With the passage of time, the "Little Emperor" and "Little Princess" born after 80s gradually entered the age of marriage and love, and they became the parents of their children carelessly. From being loved by thousands of people to needing to pay without regrets, the psychological gap is bound to appear. Mentality determines everything! Learning tolerance and communication is the most important thing.

Zhao Changjiang, deputy chief physician of Foshan Third People's Hospital, said. He believes that young people born after 1980s grew up in a good environment created by their parents, and their needs are rarely met. Therefore, post-80s couples should learn to put themselves in each other's shoes and measure each other to run a good family.

Zhang Hongqiao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology, Foshan First People's Hospital, believes that most men who are new fathers are in the struggle stage of their careers. At this time, my father was both happy and confused.

Zhang Hongqiao said that due to economic reasons, the young couple had to keep close contact with their parents and often turned to relatives and friends of their original families for help, but they could not be separated from family of origin well. Men in the family will constantly change and adjust in many relationships and roles, and sometimes even get burned.

In addition, Guan Shujun, executive lecturer of China International Marriage and Family Association, also reminded new fathers that the responsibility of raising children belongs to parents, not grandparents or parents-in-law. They should not design their children's future according to their own ideals, but should respect their personality development.

Expert advice:

Empathy and mutual understanding

Young fathers may have to undertake a lot of housework, take up personal space and affect rest. At this time, the wife should be more considerate of her husband's feelings, reduce accusations and complaints, and do her duty to take care of her little life.

As a husband, he can care and love his wife and children more actively and create a good family atmosphere. If two people put themselves in their own shoes and suppress their bad emotions, they can naturally get through the role change.

Middle-aged father:

Being under multiple pressures requires more understanding.

Zhang Hongqiao believes that with the growth of children, the occupation of men as fathers is on the rise. Many people will choose to "fight" at this time, put more energy into their careers and communicate less with their children. This is often criticized by family members.

The father's duty is to maintain the safety and development of the family. Compared with his mother, he will naturally spend less time at home. But that doesn't mean that his love will be less. Without his job, the basic survival of the family may be a problem.

After middle age, there will be some changes in the body. As a father, men will naturally notice that their momentum has decreased, and they will start to be a little conservative and have more concerns. Learn to accept your physical changes. At the same time, children have entered adolescence, and there are more and more different voices in the family.

"Raising a boy is afraid of learning bad, and raising a girl is afraid of being killed. Parents are always a little worried. " Zhao Changjiang said that no one likes to live under surveillance, parents and children are equal, and parents who respect their children will also become good examples in children's minds, so that they can learn to respect others.

Special reminder is that some bad-tempered fathers are easy to educate their children with sticks and fists at this age, but this will only make their children more rebellious. At this time, the child already has certain judgment and self-control ability. Parents need to remind their children of the correct direction of life and give them more care in life.

Expert advice:

Family members should be more considerate of their father's difficulties.

Dad has great responsibility and pressure at home. Their pressure is mainly released through the consideration of family, wife and the glory of their children's success. Give them the psychological warmth of being considerate and concerned, and also give them a sense of success of being relied on.

At this time, we should understand the father's contribution to the family and say thank you to him with gratitude, which will make him more satisfied.

Zhang Hongqiao reminded parents to trust their children at this time, let them go their own way and don't recite everything. We can provide some help for their study, marriage and work within our power, but the situation can't develop completely according to our wishes. Learning to be friends with children will make it easier to understand their needs.

Old father:

Spiritual loneliness needs the company of children.

According to Zhao Changjiang, the retired father has a feeling of being divorced from society due to the aging of various organs and the change of social status, and his feelings will become sensitive, forming the so-called "retirement syndrome".

Guan Shujun also believes that when his father is old, his position as a pillar in the family will be banned, and he will easily feel the lack of self-worth psychologically. At this time, children should spare time to accompany their father as much as possible, so that his father can unload the burden of the whole family and turn to a state of enjoying a happy life.

"At this time, children can pay more attention to their father's health and warmth and support their father to go out to participate in community activities for the elderly." Zhao Changjiang said.

Expert advice:

Find happiness by yourself.

There is no need for an elderly father to worry about the life of his adult children. He should do more things to make himself happy. For example, going to a university for the aged can not only make the elderly live a collective life, but also make various organs of the body move and slow down the pace of aging.
