Why Take Your Child To Work Day

Today is take your kids to work day! Annually the fourth Thursday of each April, more than 37 million employees at over 3.5 million U.S. workplaces participate in Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. The event which was founded by Gloria Steinem and the Ms. Foundation for Women in 1993 was originally called Take Our Daughters To Work Program. The event has been expanded through the years and now includes both boys and girls.

Why I value this day so much is that it helps our children understand how we earn money to give them all of those luxuries. Gotta have heat right? Most of all it plants a seed into your child now to begin thinking about how they can be successful at working. I definitely want to inspire my daughter to think about what she wants to do when she grows up. But more so, I want to inspire her to think and believe that she doesn’t have to wait until she grows up to begin to earn money doing something she enjoys.

Small things that kids do now can begin to help them towards realizing bigger goals. Taking your child to work is a start and helps them begin to understand the path that it takes to accomplish their goals. Your child can be inspired by your own workplace to think about what they can do to join the workforce. Whether you work behind a desk, stock shelves, clean homes, cut grass all of it can be a inspiration for your child. These may be the seeds for your child to start their own landscaping business, housekeeping company, store and more. Starting now small things like having a lemonade stand, garage sale, delivering papers, heck even starting a YouTube page can let kids see the benefit and even the fun that can be had working.
