Grandparents are a very important part of every family and deserve to have a special day dedicated to them. The history of this Nationally recognized day started in 1969 when a young boy wrote a letter to President Nixon asking to make a special day for Grandparents. The boy received a thank you note back but it said these types of special observance days needed to be authorized by Congress. However, a housewife from West Virginia kept up her fight for a national holiday to honor grandparents and finally won her cause in 1978. In 1977, Senator Randolph, with the help of other senators, introduced a joint resolution to the senate requesting the president to “issue annually a proclamation designating the first Sunday of September after Labor Day of each year as ‘National Grandparents’ Day’.” Congress passed the legislation, proclaiming the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparent’s Day. On August 3, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed the proclamation to designate the first Sunday after Labor Day as National Grandparents Day. This day was cited as a day to "to honor grandparents, to give grandparents an opportunity to show love for their children's children, and to help children become aware of strength, information, and guidance older people can offer".

Visit Huisman Flowers to find caring and beautiful Back to School flowers for Parents, Students and Teachers
Huisman Flowers A caring and wonderful way to get teachers, parents and students excited for the new school year, is to give them beautiful flowers from Huisman Flowers. School is back in season for many parts of the country and our floral designers created gorgeous flower arrangements to celebrate. Times remain stressful especially regarding health safety. Many research studies deal with the psychology of the teachers and their coping mechanisms. A great number of teachers are fearful for their health and right fully so. There are many research sites that help teachers learn to deal with that anxiety and look for support. In this time of much concern it is important that parents and teachers unite to show their children and students a cohesive message of the facts. Young people are influenced by what they see so if parents and teachers focus on educating the younger people on CDC guidelines of washing hands and cleaning policies and less on fear, the effect will be positive for children. Researching the numerous studies and advice that is given reveals several things adults can focus on: Dealing with age groups - The younger the student is the less likely they will have a lot of anxiety. If their home life is calm and happy then they will feel relatively secure. However as students get older they are able to comprehend the gravity of the situation and may tend to be less at ease. Teachers and parents have to keep a close eye on children to watch for signs of aggression or mood swings. It is important to reinforce that social distancing is for the benefit of everyone and not just a restriction placed on any one student. Teacher's set the tone - This is true with adult behavior in general but in dealing with students who are already frightened, a calm and rational teacher tone will be comforting. Professionals recommend that teachers focus on the facts for the students and only share their fears about the pandemic with their fellow adult teachers. Information and communication - In order for parents to feel confident regarding the safety of their child while he or she is attending school, it is very important that the schools provide consistent and ample information regarding how the school is enforcing stringent cleanliness practices to prevent the spread of the virus. The confidence this gives the parents will carry over to how they interact with their kids. In these difficult times it is important to create a caring environment and to enjoy beauty. Flowers from Huisman Flowers are created to stir wonderful caring feelings of happiness. Brighten The Day - The award winning floral design team at Huisman Flowers created this gorgeous floral bouquet. We call it "Brighten The Day" and it is guaranteed to generate a smile.
