Family education is one of the components of big education and the foundation of school education and social education. Family education is lifelong education, starting from the day the child is born (even dating back to the fetal period). Family education in early childhood is "the beginning of life" education, which plays a fundamental role in people'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.
