The characteristics of family education:
1. Enlightenment
The most prominent feature of family education is enlightenment. Parents are the first teachers of the children. Children's personality habits are closely related to family, and the quality of family environment will even affect children's life. Family education plays a fixed role in children's physical and mental development.
Children initially establish their own vague world outlook and values, starting from the family. When accepting new values, they always compare with their own ideas and selectively accept and contrast them, thus establishing new values.

Share happiness with others, double happiness, share difficulties with others, and halve pain. Family education shows its appeal emotionally at most. A person's joys and sorrows will also be transmitted to people around him and resonate with them. As a special culture, education also exerts a subtle influence on people.
There is a blood relationship between parents and children, and the emotional experience with children is of course all the time. Parents' interests and habits often determine children's behavior. Therefore, when educating children, parents should lead by example.
3. Authority
The influence of family environment education on children is far more important than school education and social education. For children, parents are unquestionable elders. Therefore, children must respect and rely on their parents.
In addition to caring for their children, parents should also bear some social responsibilities and gain public recognition through their own work. These experiences make children worship their parents. With this mentality, children will trust their parents imperceptibly, accept their suggestions and persuasion, and develop in the direction their parents hope.
4. Features

Family education highlights its own unique characteristics: seeking truth from facts, treating the right medicine and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, so as to carry out targeted education. Problems are timely and can be effectively controlled. Therefore, family education shows strong flexibility and variability.
5. Lifelong nature
Family education also embodies the characteristics of life. From birth to marriage, there is family education everywhere. Even after children grow up, family education still plays a role. The lifelong nature of family education can help parents to constantly observe the advantages and disadvantages of their children and educate them in time.
