What is family education?
Family education refers to various educational activities that promote family relations and family functions.

Family education is a social activity in which parents consciously exert certain educational influence on their children through their own words and deeds and family life practice, including the mutual influence and education among family members (including parents and children). It is one of the components of big education and the foundation of school education and social education. Family education in a broad sense refers to various educational activities that can enhance family relations and family functions.

Family education is one of the components of big education. Family education is lifelong education, starting from the day the child is born (even dating back to the fetal period). Family education in infancy is the "beginning of life" education, which plays a fundamental role in a person's life. After children go to primary school and middle school, family education is not only the foundation of school education, but also the supplement and extension of school education.

Its educational goal should be to ensure the healthy development of children's body and mind before entering the society to receive collective education, so as to lay a good foundation for receiving education in kindergartens and schools. Hao Bin, a famous psychologist, once said, "Family education is the foundation and starting point of the whole life education". Indeed, family education is a kind of education that has the deepest influence on one's life, directly or indirectly affecting the realization of one's life goals.
