Chocolate for breakfast? Would you ask for this on your yes day?

What is it?

Yes Day is very simple - your parents or guardians have to say yes to anything you ask!

Ice cream for dinner? Yes. Stay up late to watch a film? Yes. Obstacle course in the living rom? Yes.

Sometimes it might feel like parents say no a lot, so a yes day gives children a chance to have fun and take control.

There might be some rules put in place though, such as you can't spend over a certain amount of money, you have to include your siblings or it can't be too far away from the house - and, importantly, it must always be safe.

But, otherwise, children have the power and parents must agree.

Would you make your parents dress up on yes day?

Where did it start?

The day has become popular again recently after the new Netflix film, Yes Day, was released earlier this year.

In the film the parents realise they say no to their children a lot, so after hearing a suggestion about having a yes day, they decide to give it a go.

But, first the kids have to earn the day by keeping out of trouble, doing chores and working hard at school.

They manage to do it and get a yes day as a reward! On the day they dress their parents in crazy outfits, go through a car wash with the windows down and the adults can't look at anything with a screen on it.

The film was inspired by a book of the same name by Amy Krouse Rosenthal where no matter how silly or crazy the request, there is one day a year when children will always hear the answer yes!
