“Meaningful time with our children is the single most important gift we as parents can give to help them grow up happy and emotionally healthy, In a sometimes dangerous and stressful world. National KidsDay will help give kids peace. It is a concept that is long overdue."
Dr. Lewis P. Lipsitt, famed Brown University Child Development pioneer and National Director of the KidsPeace Lee Salk Center for Research
"National KidsDay is an enlightened idea that promises to benefit children today, as well as for years to come. This special day reminds us of the high esteem in which we hold our children. By dedicating a special day for children, National KidsDay promotes ever-increasing attachments between parents and kids”
Lorrie Henderson, Ph.D. , Acting President of KidsPeace
"National KidsDay will help give America another opportunity to let children know they are special and loved, whether they are our own children, our grandchildren or any child. In an often confusing and ever-more complicated world, this knowledge helps give kids peace.”

U.S. Conference of Mayors
The United States Conference of Mayors endorses and supports National KidsDay and encourages all Americans to participate in National KidsDay events.
Whereas there is an epidemic of children in crisis in the United States caused by the increased stresses on children from contemporary society, which can even include instances of child abuse and neglect; Whereas KidsPeace is the oldest, most successful, and most comprehensive not-for-profit organization dedicated solely to helping children attain the confidence and develop the courage necessary to confront and overcome crises; Whereas these celebrations can provide opportunities for parents, grandparents, and caregivers to recognize the importance of being involved in the physical and emotional lives of their children: Now, therefore be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That the Congress–
1. recognizes the importance of children and families to the future of the United States;
2. expresses support for the goals of National KidsDay and National Family Month, as established by KidsPeace; and
3. encourages the people of the United States to participate in local and national activities and celebrations recognizing National KidsDay and National Family Month.
-The U.S. House of Representatives October 8, 1998 (excerpt)
