1.0 Introduction
Family is the first place when children were born to be educated. It is conceivable that the
importance of family education in each persons lifetime. It is the first time that we know
the life common knowledge, right or wrong. In 21st century, talents are powerful forces
to promote a countrys development and also the core of competitiveness. So as one of
the hottest issue, more and more educators and scientists make a study of family
education in many aspects, because good family education is closely related to childrens
behavior and quality of the children is the future of the country. Moreover, there are a lot
of achievements in Chinas family education, such as some students perform well,
emerges many excellent professionals. But Chinese family education still needs to go
further, which is influenced especially by western countries family education in their
purposes and methods through the rapid development of modernization in recent years.
Thus, there is a challenge and an opportunity of improving Chinese family education
from learning the benefits of western countries family education. Oriental and western
have the biggest distinct in family education pattern. There are many reasons causes the
differences which includes the traditional education methods and ideas and mainly the
reason is cultural differences and other social conditions. Through comparison and
analysis, we can see the differences between China and western countries in family
education clearly.
2.0 The Concept of Family Values and Family
Education
2.1 Family Values and Family Education
According to Chester, 1860, family education is defined as the development and guidance
of the human being in his abilities, spiritual, intellectual and physical. Where parents is
the first person to teach the children in family life. Family education not only an act of
the family involvement but whole society, as well a lifelong education and plays a basic
role in a persons life. Therefore children should not only study the family bonding and
living skills, but also the physiology and psychology of every family member and in all
direction development. Overall, family education is basically how parents educate their
children.

When a child go to elementary school or middle school, family education becomes more
and more crucial. This is because family education not only the basic of school education,
but also the addition of school education at that time. Therefore, learning family values
gives a direction at the same time help people build a better viewpoint on family life.
Decent family values and good family education will be the greatest lead to help every
families become a full of love and harmony family. Those two kinds of concept not only
concern about family but also whole society. After all, countless family involve in the
whole society. Meanwhile, a stable family and prosperous is the main factors to the
development of whole society.
3.0 The Differences of Family Education
3.1 The Purposes of Family Education
The goal of education decides the subject of education. The subject of western family
education is very ample. American parents focus to their childrens on every sides study,
which is recognized as qualified education, where it comprises physical power,
communication skills, emotion and so on. To improve the childrens physical power,
children can do outdoor exercises, such as playing on a swing and hiking. While on the
development of perception, parents train childrens sense organ, elaborating their cultural
opinion and hobby. For example, when parents go to library for reading or loan books,
they can bring their children together with them. In this way, they can inspire childrens
interest. On the development of social aptitude, children are obligatory to enjoy
themselves and share things with their friends. For development of emotion, by having
the assist of parents, children learns to enjoy music, art or dancing and so on.

Although the subject of Chinese family teaching are alienated into ethics, intellect,
physical, and art. The contents of education become inequity. In physical, Chinese
parents mainly cares on childrens nourishment, they make big efforts to avoid their
children from illness. As compared to American parents, this type of education is a guard
which is impregnable, still and inert. Greenhouse-training can train a person strong. On
intelligence, children is offered information, abilities, such as the book that are full of
knowledge and interesting things, at the same time, they learn the abilities of reading and
writing. When children started their school education, family education is motivated to
the propensity of school education. Parents observe childrens study, inspect their
homework and purchase extracurricular exercises for the children. On art education,
parents gradually understand the importance of having professional skills. So they
demand children to learn drawing, dancing without childrens will. It is a blind action, it
may suppress childrens talent, or even worse, they may pay a great amount of money
and a lot of time but there will not be any good results. And doing this will just only
cause excessively pressure to children.

In contrast, American family educations content are considerable and scientific, while
Chinese family educations contents are narrow, limited and not scientific. For example,
in Chinese family, physical is lease important than intelligence. Chinese parents pay more
attention on childrens health. Children pay no attention to physical training, lack of
outdoor exercises, stay at home to watch television. Then the numbers of getting obesity
increases. Intelligence includes practical ability and dormant capacity. Practical ability is
what you know, what skills and knowledge should the children conquer. Chinese family
educations always ignore living skill, working skill and communicative skills. American
people take these skills seriously instead of ignoring them. In their opinion, these skills
are the basic quality to stand on the social stage. Chinese family education ignores not
only some practical abilities, but also dormant capacities which are divided into study
ability and creativity. Chinese parents appear to believe highly of knowledge study, in
fact, they only pay attention to the knowledge which can deal with school examinations.
In contrast, American parents pays attention to childrens multi-hobby and awareness
creation training. Most American specialist counselled not to learn knowledge without
comprehensive study. When children came back from school, Chinese parents is concern
to what have the children learn in class or getting a good mark on exam. And yet,
American parents is concern about did the children ask teacher questions or is the lesson
interesting to the children. This is the different opinions on intelligence between Chinese
and American parents.

3.2 The Aims of Family Education

Family educations aims control its direction. It is the essential reason of the different
family education between Chinese and American. Family educations aim is to train a
child with extra talent through family education. Once the aim is confirmed, the
education contents and techniques should be chosen accordingly to the aims. So the
parents expectations from two counties are different.

American family educations purposes is to train the child into a social man, who can deal
with different kinds of events and individual independent aptitude. Its not a high
expectation. So American parents have a relaxed view point to education their children.
They are good at finding out active parts from their childrens individuality. And the
children can find their value from family education. In fact, this kind of education can
attain good results. According to this aim, they can guide their childrens independent
ability. When American kids is a baby, they sleep alone; when they can walk by
themselves, they rarely ask parents for help; when they grow up, they own their rooms
and they clean the rooms by themselves; they do what they can do from childhood to
make money. For example, they do house cleaning, be a baby sitter, and send
newspapers. When they go to middle school or university, they do part-time jobs to make
money for the cost of living.

For instance, Chinese family educations aim is to train the child into a talented person,
who have a bright future. A bright future means to get a good job and lead to a simple life
in their life time. First, this aim is extraordinary and full of usefulness. It is hard to
achieve, because having a bright future is not a normal aim. Due to this aim, Chinese
parents specifically concern about childrens study accomplishment. Their only
obligation is that their children can focus all his attentions on study. At the same time,
they ignore their childrens extraordinary abilities, and ruin their imaginations. At the
end, parents would destroy the talents. Although Chinese children study very hard, and
get good achievement, they lack of abilities to adapt to this society. Sometimes, parents
expectation would come to nothing.

3.3 The Methods of Family Education

The methods of family education are the tangible measurement of education contents.
The choices of which education methods are associated closely to a nations culture and
history. At the same time, it is controlled by education aims. Conversely, whether the
parents can use the scientific education approaches correctly is connected to the
understanding of family educations aims and contents.

In American families, parents mostly use an equivalent way to teach their children. They
respect childrens personality and rights. In the family, children is treated as independent
individuals. Parents and children are equal. As compared to Chinese family educations
methods is lack of equality. Chinese parents dont treat their children on the same level as
themselves. Instead, parents stand for the elder generation and the children stand for
younger generation.

3.3.1 American Parents Advocate the Open Education

First, they pay attention to practical training, stress on training children in practice instead
of proselytization. In Americans opinion, if the children can perform the task by
themselves, let them do it. Through the process of doing the work, they can improve their
identification of things, accrue experiences, conquer the skills, enhance abilities, develop
hobbies and strengthen self-confidence and responsibility. Hence, American parents gave
the key of the door to children instead of opening the door for the children.

Second, American parents think play and game are very important. They think play is the
most crucial thing when children are young. In American, children take part in all kinds
of activities, and do a lot of outdoor exercises. There are a lot of good places suitable for
them to do exercises. On the weekend, parents can go for a trip with children. In the
process of playing, the children develop their intelligence, such as imagination,
judgement, communication with other people and emotion adjusting and so on.

3.3.2 Chinese Parents Advocate the Close Education

First, they disregard the importance of practical exercise, instead they pay attention to
preaching. The obligation to children is study. Everything, including what the children
can do by themselves, are done by their parents. This is the reason why Chinese children
learn a lot of knowledge but can hardly do anything when they enter the society.

Second, they sort of outdoor exercises because Chinese children have limitless
homework. They live under the pressure and a lot of examinations. At the same time, they
cant find enough time to do outdoor exercises.

Due to the differentiation of education types, American family education and Chinese
education show different methods. There is significant different of family education
methods present in different aspects. American pay attention to the right children own,
but Chinese never think so.

The democratic method of education which is a kind of loose and comfortable education,
and presents a great advantages: For one thing, it helps to train creative ideas. Loose and
comfortable conditions is the most crucial to increase childrens creativities. Under high
pressure, childrens creative ideas would be restrained. For instance, in a happy and calm
family atmosphere, children can be stimulated easily. To produce a loose and comfortable
atmosphere, parents should build a relationship equaled with children. Besides, it helps to
form healthy personality. Children would take part in family activities actively, to express
their own opinions, and be full of self-confidence and responsibility if they are given the
rights of speaking, attending and choosing. In addition, this kind of relation can
encourage children to share their secrets to their parents. At the same time, parents can
understand childrens thoughts. It advises children to form a good personality. However,
autocratic method of education presents a kind of controlled education, which constrains
creation and the development of personality. So China family can try to turn our close
education into open education.
4.0 The Differences of Family Education between
American and China.
4.1 Culture
Education act as an important role in a countrys culture. It is connected with the
formation and development of the whole human civilization. Education is a carrier to
spread and continue cultural and also one of the most crucial parts in the whole culture
system. Especially the family education is the most basic, enlightenment and significant
part of education system. It has great effect on childrens habit, interest, life pattern and
even characteristics. Family education core meaning lie in that it will influence children
in some imperceptible spots with long lifetime. Children through observe and mimic to
accept basic common sense of life and culture values without heavy awareness. At the
same time, family education deeply affect by the culture and family education is reflected
the national culture. Culture factor is the biggest reason of the different family education
between China and America. Thus different cultural soil nurtures different family
educations aim, method and content. In brief, cultural covers is transmitting the
education. Meanwhile, due to educations coverage the culture can be transmitted,
preserved and innovate. Traditional Chinese culture is more to ethical culture. The
Confucius has the most influence in education, his core theory was compassion. China
has two thousand years of feudal history and Confucius almost always dominate thought.
His opinions that people should overcome self-desires and become the elites. From this
point, Chinese children have fewer individualities and most of them are submissive to
parents and teachers. Chinese cultural value emphasis on pursuing the Confucius
moderation personality. Likewise, people deal with things with friendly thoughts is the
best way to threat others or do things. Chinese family education pays a great notice to
politeness. Nurturing childrens group awareness and collective thought. Those are all
linked with the traditional Chinese culture factors, which is deeply root in Chinese
peoples heart. So Chinese children often nervous and overprotect, they are less
independent characteristics. However, western countries doesnt have a long history so
that their family education is not intensely affected by the traditional culture. American
countries development generally starts from industry rebellion. Western countries
traditional value emphasis its individualism. Western parents emphasis on nurture
childrens character so that western countries children have more authority than Chinese
children. Such as western children can leave from class and choose another class due to
the teacher they preferred. And they can express their ideas in freely at many times.
Western countries people pursuit of freedom, democracy culture and people rights.
Western countries culture mostly is after the time of capitalism culture and the
combination of old Rome and Greek. They pursue material highly centralize culture.
They always put family education a significant status. So their family education more
important on emerging the personal ability and creative. Most Chinese children go
through too many exams so that they rarely image and their imagination are poor. It is
because Chinese traditional culture do not encourage too much imagination. They think
this is action not practical. However, western countries traditional culture encourage
children to imagine because western countries people consider imagination is a very
important ability and significant meaning. They also think that collective should follow
personal need.

4.2 Historical Backgrounds

China and western countries diverse historical background can be allocated the two
biggest important periods. First of all, the powerful Qin dynasty through Reformation of
Shang Yang combined the mainland of China in 221BC. From then on, China opened a
two thousand years long period of feudal system. This united mark the beginning of the
Chinese nation and make the basis for uniting the Chinese culture. At that time, western
countries still was one of the countries practices slavery. And it was the dark ages that
western countries from all aspects fell behind China a lot. However, due to the late Qing
government of Chinas corruption, China started fell behind western countries after a
period time. China and western difference became bigger in the future times. In these
times, Chinese family education was influenced by the traditional content and method.
Secondly, western countries was undergoing an extraordinary political and ideological
change in the 16th and 17th century. In the terms of thinking, revitalization impacted on
western countries which produced ideological liberation. Moreover, humanism thought
liberated people from feudal theology, but on the other hand this made self-desires to
extremely increase. At the political aspect, the early middleclass revolution made the
formation of capitalism system. Then, capitalism became larger in western countries and
also effected on people thought. Those traditional western countries topographies effect
on nowadays family education from content and method. So after the first and second
industrial revolutions, there were a bigger gap in China and western countries
development from many aspects. Nevertheless, China long-term feudal autocracy slowly
increased and powered. The ruling class still soothed with the social situation and thought
they were always the number one. Chinese two thousand years of feudal domination
make the traditional thought the Confucius and Mencius effect on persons behaviors.
They think that mans personality should be gentle. In addition, Buddhism also has a
great effect on Chinese cultural development, which let people believe in ethics and not
to protest. Once it was a tool for ruling class to dominated people. Those features make
Chinese family children more compliant and moderate. Ancient Greece is the cradle of
western civilization. Greek mythology emphasis on nature power, human conquest of
nature and praise human nature and human life. These promote western people not only
encourage wisdom, but also advocate power and independent risk spirit. So nowadays
western countries also can reflect from those features.

4.3 Economic
China and western countries diverse culture customer cause the different economic form
and development. At the late of Qing dynasty, the feudal government controlled a large-
scale of organization activities, such as political, military, and commercial. At that time,
the mainly economic form was independent feudal natural economy in domination status.
With the invasion of western countries, Chinas thousand years of feudal economic
slowly collapsed. And the Chinese capitalism has been started developing. Then China
also emerged in the machine produce field. Few years after new China was found, the
nation went through many economic forms. From first planned economy to the later
market economy. Through many years and many peoples leading to improve the nation
economic development, Chinas economic has a great progress, but still a little behind
western countries. And yet, the economy reason has also became a big problem
influenced of Chinese family education. Since 18th century to the end of 19th century,
western countries capitalism stayed in a free market stage and most countries believed
that Adam Smith classical theory of market economy. After the first industrial revolution
that factories replaced the manual and western countries entered the age of steam.
Western countries economy gain improvement and slowly grow excessive China. After
second industrial revolution, human through productivity into the age of electrical. Just
then, western countries have already exceeded China a lot in economic area. At that
period, western countries encourage create, learned knowledge and highlighted on new
technology. Those revolutions and encouragement have a great significant in economic
promote field. Influential economic strength makes western countries have a firm backing
on family education. Though western countries have the economic crisis in recent years.
But those emphasis all show how they put family education on the very important place.
When their economic developed fine, they can put more financial on education. No
matter in doing researches or building infrastructure, western countries children have a
better foundation than Chinese children. The most important that western countries
children can easily get hired and change jobs. However, is not easy for Chinese children
to do that. The different of economic forms and financial strength decide the family
educations many factors.

4.4 Different Social Conditions

Due to the different kinds of traditional culture, historical background and economic form
decide that different social conditions. From economic aspect, western countries are
mostly developed countries. Their education infrastructure is better and advance than
China. They put more money into education, especially western countries parents do not
use their own money to raise children. Generally speaking, government will help them
raise children, such as paying for tuition and living expenses. They also have more
completed medical insurance so parents dont worry about the financial issue when the
child is ill. Some Europe countries like Belgium, where rich people live in a society circle
while poor people live in their respective circle. And the society is more stable and people
have little psychological disparities. The service industry has a major status in western
countries which it captivate a lot of people to work. Thus, job compete not as fierce as in
China. Conversely, China once has fallen behind a lot from western countries in
economic. This lead to China emphasize on technology and science, but disdain
literature. Although the Chinese government desires to improve education, but not much
money is given to every school or family. This is due to the huge area territory of China,
and there are large number of population so that the job is hard to find and powerful
competition. So that children from little age to college will went through many exams. In
a sense, this is for fair competing because there are not enough resources for every child.
In addition, China carry out the one child policy also lead to Chinese parents attach a
great importance to their childrens exam scores. This is because Chinese parents think
that their children will have a bright future in this way.
5.0 The Results of Chinese Family Education
Chinese parents hold idea that study for enroll to a better school and apart from score
those few to pay a great attention. They show unimportance to all-round development of
children, which make children slip many opportunities in improving others characteristics
aspects. Chinese parents totally link themselves to the child. They decide the study
content for children and develops direction. These make children become reliant on other
and poor independent ability. The most important is this way will lead to Chinese parents
neglect children nature and merits. Children studied but they knows nothing. Chinese
parents apparently more careful about their children, but easy to make children frequently
complain and become helpless person when they face frustration. Perhaps Chinese
traditional culture make parents reserve the feelings that they are not good at expressing
and the affections among families. So that the emotional education is very weak. Less
emotional education, there will less understand in families. Some Chinese parents often
command their children to do things. This not only shows the parents authority, but also
prevents emotional education. Under powerful authority, children may be become used to
order. Many Chinese students have poor communication skills with other people. In
China, make money is the adult business that children only need stretch out their hands to
parents. This is absolutely right and deserved in China. Therefore, Chinese childrens
financial consciousness is weak and parents give more money will lead to children
indulge in excessive consumption or vanity.

5.1 Problems about Chinese Family Education

Majority of the Chinese family, parents pay too much thoughts to the surface of their
childrens material requirements. They give children too much protection and when the
children want to run, they are afraid of getting hurt. So that some Chinese children foster
weak, sick and body become late ripe and even become timid, lack of confidence and
unable face the difficult. Some Chinese parents spoil their children too much and do
everything for them. This lead children easier become self-centered, reliance,
unpredictable and unable to take care themselves. Most Chinese parents are excessively
authoritarian who often sue authoritative tone command of their children, limit children
freedom and deny children ideas. Under this environment in a long period, children will
lose their confidence, under in a panic, not to express their ideas and become passive. In
addition, some children want release dissatisfaction often through humiliate younger
children than them or even bear a grudge on their parents in adult. Chinese parents less
express the family emotion and care childrens affection so that children will feel always
do badly and hard to accept critical. Some Chinese parents think say to children with
more times that they will understand, but this action become nagging. And parents will
make children feel numb, become without sluggishness or without confidence. At the
same time, nagging parents can be short-tempered and the emotion become out of
control. Other Chinese parents often mock and demand their children and even scold
children in front of other which affect childrens self-esteem or children may be timid and
revenge their parents when they grow up. Some Chinese parents are short-tempered and
their children also become short-tempered. When parents underestimate their children,
doubt the childrens potential and let children submit to them in everywhere which make
children not learn from the failure and accustomed to rely on others, be ordered even lack
of thinking.

5.2 Suggestion
Although China and western countries family education have great difference in many
aspects. And the reasons are deeply root in the culture field. However, there are still some
common features. Through two kinds of family educations problem which can make
some advices. So there are some suggestions to China and western countries family
education. Mainly have six principles in the below for Chinese family education.

First, the principle of equality. Psychologist proves that children in an equal status to
argument with their parents will help children build confidence, distinguish the right and
wrong and augment imagination and creation. This also is a kind personification of love
each other.

Second, the principle of respect. Parents respect their children and children will respect
parents. This action can help children shape self-esteem and learn how to respect others.

Third, the principle of communication. The process of a child grow up is not only need
material, but also need methods and emotion. So that parents need to focus to their
children emotion needs. In this way, children will learn take care themselves and others.
Meanwhile their inner world will not feel meaninglessness and have the strength to
progress. And the children will be health person whatever from body or psychology.

Fourth, the principle of freedom. Many parents think control children with severe will be
good for them. But the things are that children often appreciate to their parents when they
grow up or succeed in career. Chinese parents should believe their childrens ability and
give freedom in certain aspect. Thus, children through some practice will have their own
thought and judgement.

Fifth, the principle of model. Parents are the first teachers for their children so that they
should be a good example for their children. The main reason that parents are the first
mimic object of their children. Because children at little age consider their parents
express the truth.

Sixth, the principle of encouragement. Chinese traditional culture is the unexceptional

which make parents few to inspire their children. But children often shaper confidence
and strength in the encouragement.
6.0 The Results of Western Family Education
Western countries parents pay attention to children independent ability and life skills. In
western family, children like the adults that they can directly call the visiting relatives and
friends name, confidently speak out their opinions and participate in family discuss. Thus,
children can practice their speaking ability. However, some Chinese parents are used to
replace children to speak with others. Consequence, they take the childrens chance of
speak practice. Western countries parents give many opportunities to their children or
undergo exercise, which children like to risk and show their ability. Let the children learn
to survive, bear hardships and hard work. Meanwhile, western countries parents care
about more childrens inner world. Such individual independence will lead children pay
more attention to individual ability and struggle. According to the survey, western
countries parents often use encouraging languages to express their admiration for the
children. Western family education has center on emotional build and nurture. They can
squeeze time to communicate with children. Through those methods children gradually
learn to build confidence and care about others. Furthermore, corporal punishment is
illegal. Chinese parents like punish their children when they make mistakes. But this
action not only punish the children physically, but also psychologically. In comparison to
western countries, especially in America, financial education is a branch of family
education. Western countries parents will not pay for their children without plan. They
often give children fix money so that they can help children learn to management money
and build right financial awareness. The result of this action make children has a correct
opinion about money in the future. And be the master of the money not the slavery and
children can be honest face the money. Due to all kinds of reasons that China and western
family education have many distinct results. Those different results also reflect the
features of China and western countries culture custom.

6.1 Problems about Western Countries Family Educations

There are a lot of family education problems in western countries. In western countries,
especially America, they advocate personal character so that pupils can eat snack and talk
in the class and their personal power is bigger. Sometimes, when they make mistakes
teacher and parents words could be useless due to western countries advocate freedom
and peoples rights. Because western countries education too much advocate independent
so that make children vulnerable to get badly or more likely to take drugs, homosexual
love, robbery even had a tendency to violence, shot and so on. Especially America shot
cases in campus are is increasing in recent years. And due to western countries emphasis
on emotion communication that children often fall in love at the early age. So that
premarital pregnancy is very common phenomenon and Christian is not allowed to
abortion lead to so many children were thrown in the orphanage. If they have the better
adoptive parents, they would live in a good and happiness life. But others children
became very badly person, which forms a new problem in the society. Because parents
and children have equal status so parents do not have a big authority. Parents have a little
ways to solve those problem better and punishment with beat is illegal in western
countries. Especially, those children whom are at the age of 16 or 18 years old who have
independent act ability. And their parents become little authority to educate children. If
their behaviors are well, parents no need too much care about children. Conversely, if
their behaviors are not well, parents would difficult to solve the problems.

6.2 Suggestions
Due all kinds of reasons, such as, work pressure or infrequent time of parents not have
enough patience to talk with their children. This will delay the familys communication
and emotion transmits.

Second, explain to children that he or she is cute so that no need to show themselves.
Because western countries emphasis character those children may be show their features
to the parents and do some stupid things which maybe hurt them.

Third, take some time to help children correct their homework. Western countries parents
few interrupt or too much care about their childrens own things so that the children
sometimes hard to educate. Another reason is western countries respect others private
affairs. Helping correct homeworks will make children know their parents have power to
educate him in all the time. Moreover, parents can give their children some directions of
life in this way.
Fourth, build some parents authority so that they can educate children in easier way. Most
of children have smarted individuality when they grow older. And at that time, it will be
harder to educate them.

Fifth, care about children but they them take despondency for the love. In western
countries, premarital pregnancy are very common incident which due to some bad family
education method in some degree.

Sixth, make a little limitations of childrens actions. Let they known that they have power
in some things and no power to do in another things, but parents should use in the right
ways rather than abusing it. That is all suggestions for family education which maybe
have some effects for China and western countries family education progress and absorb
each merits.
7.0 Conclusion
According to American famous writer John Brasal, he said when a person grow up, all his
behaviors are controlled by the family environment when he was a child. Every child
grows up under his parents family education, what kind a person will be, depends on
what kind of family education he received. Childrens character and destiny are linked
closely to family education. For the family, children and for the parents, people should
change the wrong perception of family education and correct it at once. Chinese family
should change the expectation of childrens education. Give up the harmful types of
family education. Pick up good ideas from Americans family education. To turn talent
education into human education. To turn one-sided family education into all-round
family education. To turn restrained education into loose and comfortable education.
To use scientific mode of family education to speed the reform of family education. If
people can perform these changes, Chinese family education will have a bright future.
Besides, western family can also get something they are lack of from Chinese family
education.
