National Children's Day quotes to help celebrate the future generation

National Children's Day is celebrated all around the world. Not only does it promote protecting the rights of children but also teaches people togetherness. Children are a society's future and how they are raised determine a country's forthcoming.

In the United States, the first Children's Day was celebrated in 1856 when Rev. Charles H. Leonard set aside a Sunday for the celebration of children. From then on, the dates kept shifting around. Many presidents like Bill Clinton and  George W. Bush decided dates for this special holiday. It was then decided that the 2nd Sunday of every June would be Children's Day and this year it is June 14.
