Family education in the United States is to cultivate children's pioneering spirit and competitiveness, so that children can become independent people. In American families, parents attach great importance to cultivating children's subjective initiative. The family encourages children to make progress, opposes suppressing children's personality, and pays attention to cultivating children's spirit of independence and responsibility for themselves.
Family education in the United States advocates democracy, and parents and children jointly formulate norms that can safeguard the rights and interests of all parties. Children and parents have equal rights when making family rules. Parents often tolerate their children's mischief and pay little attention to details. Their educational methods are open. The democratic atmosphere of American family education has created generations of American youth with strong independence. But sometimes extreme democracy makes the education of many families in the United States too laissez-faire, which leads to many children being self-centered, domineering and behaving badly.
American parents have paid attention to helping their children develop clear economic concepts and economic independence since childhood. Parents teach their children how to spend limited pocket money in a planned way and how to find ways to make money. The early economic independence consciousness of American youth is based on the education of this early economic concept. In the United States, parents often use economic means to promote their children's learning progress and stimulate their learning competition.
