First, family education is the education among family members. Judging from the composition of educators and educatees, school education and social education are arranged according to the needs of society and restricted by social system; Family education is carried out because of the needs of families. Educators and educatees are blood-related family members, which is a natural educational relationship. The educational process is greatly influenced by emotional factors, and "love" runs through family education. Traditional family education is actually one-way education for parents, while modern family education advocates two-way communication between parents and children, but the main thing is parents' education for children.
Second, family education is education in family life. From the time and place of education, school education is a kind of special education, which is in the charge of special teachers at a fixed time and place, implemented strictly according to procedures, with clear objectives, specific contents and assessment results; Family education, on the other hand, is combined with family life, interwoven with parent-child communication, communication with relatives and friends, housework and family entertainment. Generally speaking, there is no clear goal and special performance appraisal, which is arbitrary.
Third, family education is an education with parents' personal colors. Judging from the purpose, content and methods of education, school education and social education have unified requirements in these aspects, which are greatly influenced by the country's economic development, social system and cultural tradition. How to carry out family education basically depends on the experience and quality of parents. Although parents can't educate their children at will completely divorced from social reality, they usually educate their children according to their own thoughts, knowledge, hobbies and time and energy. The situation of educating children in each family is very different.
Characteristics of Modern Family Education
The basic factors affecting the growth of the younger generation are heredity, environment and education. Family education belongs to the category of educational activities and social environment, but it is different from general education and environment. It is the education of educatees (children) with a specific relationship by specific educators (parents) in a specific environment (family). Compared with school education, family education has the following characteristics:
First, the long-term nature of time. When a child cries for the first time, many parents begin to nourish and educate their children with love, and more parents begin to educate their children when they learn a language. In the following decades, parents always educate and influence their children intentionally or unintentionally. Many old people give their adult children their last education before they die. For example, Zheng Banqiao, a famous painter in Qing Dynasty, called several children to bed at the last moment of his life and tried to "cut off chopsticks" to educate them to unite. Because the living environment and educators are relatively stable, children are more likely to receive their parents' education and gradually form many profound concepts.
