Parenting education is based on blood relationship. According to the unique family situation in China, this relationship is extended to all people who have close contact with children-the relationship between caregivers and children, thus forming a parent-child relationship with interaction as the core content. Therefore, "parenting education" is a special form of early education, aiming at caring for the physical and mental health of infants, developing their potential, cultivating their personality and constantly improving the overall quality of the newborn population.

Family education is divided into narrow sense and broad sense. Family education in a narrow sense refers to the education and influence of parents, that is, the elders (mainly parents) in the family, on their children and adolescents. Family education in a broad sense refers to the direct, indirect, intentional, unintentional, positive and negative influence of people or things from family on children, all of which are family education. Education advocates a broad understanding of family education.
