Family education refers to the cultivation, guidance and influence of parents or other guardians on minors' moral quality, physical quality, life skills, cultural accomplishment and behavior habits, so as to promote their comprehensive and healthy growth.

It mainly includes parenting education (enhancing parents' functions), children's education (enhancing children's responsibilities), gender education (enhancing gender awareness), marriage education (enhancing the relationship between husband and wife) and moral education (enhancing respect and care for clan members).

Family education is a part of parents' education, which refers to how parents move from nature to maturity.

Family education refers more to parents' education for children, but lacks education between parents and long-term equal communication with children.
