The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1st to be International Children's Day in 1925. It is a day that revives, celebrates, and commits to our children and their future. Children hold a special place in our lives, and raising healthy, happy children is the greatest success any parent can hope to achieve. It should also be an important goal of every member of society because children are profoundly influenced by the people around them. They need the assistance of parents, other adults, educators, religious and business leaders to cope with the many issues and problems that they face in the 21st century.

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14th. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day. In August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress. Flag Day is not an official federal holiday, though, on June 14, 1937, Pennsylvania became the first (and only) U.S. state to celebrate Flag Day as a state holiday. It is at the President's discretion to proclaim officially the observance.

No one knows where it originated, but June 15 has become the unofficial National Smile Power Day. Negativity is soul-sucking, but the simple act of smiling has the ability to turn that around. It can convey encouragement and happiness without having to say a word. Smiling (even when you’re not happy) can help lift your mood and it helps everyone around you feel better. Research has proven that smiling really does increase attractiveness and likability between humans as well as creating a greater trust and increased interpersonal cooperation. Smiling at someone can help them to relax and relieve their stress while at the same time, it will lift your mood and can make you a happier person. So use today as the perfect excuse to shine your pearly whites and show off those dimples. Challenge yourself to see how many others you make smile today too--after all--smiling is contagious.
