Take Our Daughters & Sons to Work Day is April 26th


Working moms (and dads) sometimes suffer from guilt when they have to leave their children at daycare or with a nanny or babysitter because of work. I suffered from Working Mom guilt for years, so much so, that when I got the chance to blog and freelance full-time while in the comfort of my home office, I jumped at the chance. I honestly feel that while I experienced Working Mom Guilt at some time, it wasn’t warranted—to me and to anyone else. Making a living (and hopefully doing what you want to do in terms of having a career) is nothing to be ashamed of or feel guilty about. And thanks to the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day Movement, there is a day that gives you permission to bring your little one to work.

Thursday, April 26, 2012 is Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day. It’s a day that encourages employees to bring their children to work so that they can learn what mom and dad does at work all day. Some offices really rally around this special day by having events in the office such as breakfasts that are catered with the young palate in mind to having movie time during lunch. The theme for this year’s event is Build Opportunity: 20 Years of Education, Empowerment, Experience and it celebrates 20 years of the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day movement.

The recommended ages for Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is from 8 years old 18. In the past, I have participated in this day by bringing both my son and daughter to work. I think doing so can be a positive experience for your children, as they get to know more about you through what you do in your workplace.

There are many workplaces across the world that encourage employees to bring their children to work even on days that are not deemed special days. As employers get wise about promoting positive reinforcement to their employees, many companies are opting to allow their employees to not only bring their kids to work, but their pets as well.

You can learn more about Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day by visiting the official website, or by liking their page on Facebook.

What do you think about Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day? Will you be participating this year?

    I won’t be doing it this year because I actually have a big event that day but my law firm is recognizing it AND giving all the kids who come – FREE FOOD! how nice. I do work in an environment where they love to see kids. My daughter was with me about 2 weeks ago and one of the most senior partners in a corner office (meaning big time) played soccer with her in the hall. Being in a place like that makes coming to work so much easier.

      Hi Aisha! It’s a good feeling when your workplace embraces your children when they come in the office with you. It shows a lot about their beliefs and principles as it relates to kids and family. Looks like you have a great workplace. Kudos!

    Our local high schools have this kind of day once a year. I took advantage of it with both my kids. They learned what I actually did, and I was happy to hear all the questions they had. They actually took interest! I love the idea.
