Second Sunday in May through the third Sunday in June

National Family Month is observed during the five-week period between Mother's Day in
May and Father's Day in June.

It is timed to coincide with the end of the school year, when families start spending more
time together, and also to focus attention on mothers and fathers as the most powerful
support system for their children.

National Family Month was started by KidsPeace, a private, not-for-profit organization
that has dedicated itself to helping children attain the confidence and develop the
courage to face and overcome crises since 1882.

KidsPeace has also established National Kids Day, observed on the third Saturday of
September.

The organization believes that such observances provide opportunities for parents,
grandparents, and caregivers to be more involved in the lives of the children for whom
they are responsible.

Families are urged to spend time doing things together during this five-week period,
whether it is taking a family vacation or simply doing chores around the house.
