I assume parents that work from home do not pull their kids out on this day to observe you working from home.
The NIH has an absolutely GLORIOUS bring your child to work day, with labs opening their doors to present their research and do fun age-appropriate experiments, campus events, movies, petting zoos, etc. My older kid went with my husband to dissect a cow eye, see the Da Vinci surgical robot in action, watch a movie; while I toured the mice facilities with my youngest. Years later, she still remembers the nest of baby mice she saw (she's aware of experiments done to them, obviously).
It's a dream come true for many STEM-minded kids.
