The cultivation of creative personality is not arbitrary, but must follow certain principles. Based on a large number of existing studies, the cultivation of creative personality should follow the following five principles: the principle of early education, the principle of cooperative education among schools, families and society, the principle of combining self-education with lifelong education, the principle of subjectivity and the principle of sociality. Family is the cell of society and the most important form of social organization. With the development of society, the structural form of the family is also changing. In modern society, the common form of family is often a nuclear family composed of husband and wife and unmarried children. In this family form, the economic and political functions of the family are gradually replaced by society, while the educational functions are constantly strengthened and the contents are increasingly rich. The experimental study on the influence of family characteristics, family education methods, parents' expectations and birth order on children's creativity shows that family is an important factor affecting children's creative personality development.

An important role of family education in the cultivation of creative personality is early education. Early education is very important for the cultivation of children's intelligence, individuality and creative personality.

There is a concept of critical period in psychology. If some children's behaviors miss the "critical period", it will be difficult to appear again. In the study of children's problem solving, researchers found that the characteristic of children's problem solving is to solve problems in their own unique cognitive way, which is an early creative bud and needs our guidance and cultivation.

School is an important place for students' individual socialization, and school education is an important environmental condition that affects students' personality development. As an environmental condition that affects students' personality development, school education includes many factors, such as school spirit, class spirit, teachers' characteristics, teachers' educational philosophy and teaching style, teacher-student relationship, peer relationship and so on. Teachers have many influences on students' personality development: daily teaching activities, teachers' own personality strength, teachers' evaluation and reward of students' behavior, teachers' expectations of students and so on. School atmosphere is also very important for students' personality development. Students have long been in an overall atmosphere of the school and have been influenced by it for a long time. In addition, students' peer communication is also an important factor affecting students' personality development. For students, peers are not only the intensifiers of their own behaviors, but also the models that can be imitated, and they are also the reference standards when comparing their behaviors with others in society.

Of course, to cultivate creative personality, family education and school education must be coordinated. If the standards of the two kinds of education are not unified, the educated will have many unnecessary psychological conflicts and increase confusion, thus affecting the formation and development of a sound personality.
