Key words Family education Ways of educating Values Differences Introduction.

Family education indicates the influence to the development of children in the process of communicating between parents and a child . It is also the most important one among all the ways of education . In view of many differences in culture , economy , family background , educated ways , hence it results in the obvious difference in family education between China and Western countries . To recognize the fact correctly will promote the development of family education in our country . For Chinese families , what they focus on is “order ”and “obedience ”, while they pay attention to “fairness ”and “freedom ”in West .Chinese parents are dominators who control their children , thus what the children only do is to accept all the arranged things submissively . Parents always decide their children’s natural development . Consequently , they have deprived of free agency of children . However , in Western countries , parents often focus on children’s decision-making power .Under the permitted circumstances by society ,

children is allowed the problem they have met .

1.Chinese familys’ways of educating .

1.1 On studying

Chinese parents pay a special attention to their children ‘s achievement in learning . No matter what their children want , they will satisfy children’s all the needs only is children can get a perfect performance in examination . Therefore , in daily life ,children are demanded to reading , practice and learning . As a result , their genius are ignored . Parents limit children’s creativity .Consequently , in order to cultivate the so-called genius but snuff out a real genius . Besides ,Chinese family education , the inculcated education which asks children to recite some experienced knowledge without any comprehension . Thus it leads to kill the children’s imagination and creativity .At the same time ,Chinese children is lacking of operating by hand .

1.2 On life

At first , what most of Chinese parents is always thinking is how to protect their own child , when his child quarrels even fights with others .Even if they know their children have made a mistake , they still try to have their children got rid of the responsibility . Under this condition ,the conflicts is often raised between the two sides of parents . Besides , in China , it is the common fact that parents help their children wash clothes , make a bed ,etc . They even want to help their children resolve any problems that their children have faced . They dote their children and afraid them being suffered and tired . Finally , many parents will satisfy their children any economic needs , without hesitation and limits , even if the family is poor , let alone what the rich do . As a result , children have no awareness of saving money in life , because they think it can be acquired easily . Day by day , children take it for granted that their parents give them money forever and without any requirements .

I had ever seen a news “ It is said that a son killed his mother , only because the mother didn’t give him enough money to play net games .”

What a astonished news ! We can see some educational problems from it that spoil will eventuall lead to bitter fruit .

1.3 On the relationship between children and parents

In china , parents always say something like these , “You must …, You have to … , You should …” . In their views , children is their private property . They can treat their children in any way what they want to take . Besides , children have few access to communicate with their parents . At the same time , as children afraid their parents , little by little , reverse psychology appeared . Thus may make children develop themselves under the condition of departing the normal orbit . Based on the two points I have mentioned , a gap have emerged between parents and children . Children aren’t willing to tell their true thought to their parents . Actually speaking , it is bad for children’s development .

2.Western families ways of educating.

2.1 On studying

In Western countries , parents focus on that children can “realize ”knowledge by thinking . So they encourage their children to find something new , to operate , to dare to bring forward questions . When foreign teachers have classes , they often say “ Questions ? Any questions ? I like questions ” In fact ,parents is also like teachers . They rouse children’s imagination and creativities . They allow their children query and challenge the knowledge in the book . So most of western children think actively , operate masterly.

2.2 On life

Western countries advocate a independent life , parents think it is the most important for children to cultivate the ability of independent , and children are asked to make a decision by themselves without parent

involving . Besides , parents give their children money regularly . In addition , they encourage their children to do some part-time jobs . In order to cultivate strong quality of hard-working , children would rather be suffered rather than be coddled . Moreover , parents educate their children to donate and save money .

2.3 On relationship between parents and children

In western families , children often call their parents’ name directly . They wouldn’t be blamed because there is a democratic equal relationship between parents and children . Few parents compel their children to obey their thoughts . They won’t ask their children to lead a life according to their way of life . What I have just mentioned is good for children to communicate with their parents . Children and parents , think each other as friends .

3.Chinese families’values of educating

In China , parents ask their children to go to school in order that their children can make a living . In parents’ opinion , degree is the most important . Children must be educated in a serious way and get a good performance . Only in this way can they get the degree , thereby obtaining a decent job . If their children do good in studying , parents will hold their head high and lift up their horn . Parents tell their children to combine their own interest with their family’s interest . Therefore , for a child ,to go to school is not only for the sake of themselves , but also the whole family’s . Children should assume the responsibility to get a decent job for family’s face . What’s more ,in China , parents from different families always like comparing their children . Parents often take their own children’s advantages to compare other children’s disadvantages , thereby achieving to comfort themselves . Parents also chat about children’s grade . “ whose child is the first ? whose child is admitted to a famous university ? ” Parents will feel lose face if
