1. Introduction
\nEntering twenty-first century, as one of the hottest spot, family education is becoming more and more important in people\u2019s life. Family, as the cell of society, is the first place that children receive education and the first unit that the children get in touch with the society. Education is a highly complicated process which is connected with families, schools and society throughout one\u2019s whole life. A modern society, whether it can present its special education function, which is already the base of the power to push the society and creation of family happiness. In modern society, family education contents become various, it includes not only family life education, family relation education, family morality education, but also children education, parents education and so on. In this paper, I will discuss the education of the children.
\n2.The definition of family education
\n\u201c Harry Chester\u2019s Schools for Children and Institutes for Adults (1860) says, \u2018Education is the development and training of the human being in all his capacities, spiritual, intellectual and physical\u2026\u2019\u201d[1]P148 In the dictionary, the definition of family education explained in this way: Parents or elder generation educate the child or teenage in family. Different society needs different family education. \u201cZheng Qilong, in his work family education, explained it in another way: Education is a society use to educate new generation with aims and systems\u2026\u201d[2]P6-7 Family education is parents educate their children, it is an important part of the whole education system.
\nFor the sake of the changing situation, the definition of family education should be extended: \u201c(i) Family education is not only the action of family but concerns the whole society. (ii) Family education\u2019s aims are not only studying the family relation and living skills, but also the physiology and psychology of every family member and family members all-round development. (iii) Family education is not only the way that parents or elder generation educate the child or teenage in family, but all the family members educate each other. (iv) Family education is not only the education of the pre-school education, but also all life education.\u201d[3]P52
\n3.Main problems in today\u2019s Chinese family education
\n3.1 Parents\u2019 mistake in conception of value and wrong activities leading A child\u2019s conception of morality and value orientation learns from acquistion, especially from his parents. So parents affect the child\u2019s mind greatly.\u201c(i) If parents always say some positive view, such as, \u2018Money makes the mare go\u2019 or \u2018Money talks.\u2019\u201d[4]P23 The child may form a conception that people live in order to make money which is a wrong view of value. (ii) Parents sometimes endorse some wrong behaviors, the child may form an idea that those wrong behaviors are right. 3.2 Utopian expectation of children\u2019s education
\nChinese parents produce a great impact on children\u2019s future. When a baby born in a Chinese family, his parents often design a future for him, no matter the child likes it or not. That is to say, Chinese parents would enforce their children living under the designed future instead of considering children\u2019s feelings and abilities. \u201cJust as Phierbaha says \u2018Parents\u2019 biggest\u00a0false is they stand in their position and interfere children\u2019s nature development.\u2019\u201d[5]P24 In China, we can find the following scenes easily: Parents take their children to various kinds of lessons after school. Children would be punished if they didn\u2019t get a good mark in examinations. 3.3 Harmful types of family education
\n3.3.1 A utocratic type of family education
\nIn some Chinese families, parents require their children should do whatever they want their children do. If the children didn\u2019t do as their order, they will scold the children, even worse, they will punish the children. \u201cA questionnaire of 300 students in a middle school shows: Ninety percent of the students had been punished!\u201d [6]P24. They can\u2019t bear that children did\u2019t obey them. They restrict their children. They check their children\u2019s cellphone. 3.3.2 Indulgent type of family education
\nParents\u2019 love is very important for the psychology development of teenagers. However, in modern China, a child is probably the only child in a family, and parents give too much love to the child. It leads to a situation that the child can\u2019t live without their parents. They seldom run into troubles because their parents had already solved the problem for them before they meet the problem. This kind of children can\u2019t get along with other people very well. They consider themselves as the most important ones. Even worse, they may not have enough independent ability to live in the society without their parents\u2019 help. When they go to society, they will feel depressed. \u201cIn a investigation of 4000 youth criminals, 16.3% of them receive this kind of family education. \u201d
\n3.3.3 Careless type of family education
\nIt usually refers to parents who lack of responsibility to take care of their children. Young parents are working hard to make money. They don\u2019t have enough time to get along with their children. According to a survey, the children whose parents are individual entrepreneur, taxi driver or labor contractor, break the law easily. The main reason is the parents mentioned above, who have few time at home. Even they are at home, they seldom put their hearts on their children. They simply think if they provides a good living condition for their children, who will become a talent. This type of\u00a0family education is dangerous. Children\u2019s thought is not mature enough to judge all the things in a right way. It is easy for children to choose the wrong way to go.
\n3.3.4 Changeable type of family education
\nThe children had been influenced greatly by this type of family education. For parents, the way to present this kind of education is self-contradictory. In other words, one parent is severe, another indulgent. Or the same behavior, is allowed today, but is forbidden tomorrow. A great number of research proved that children\u2019s behaviors have a close connection with the changeable type of family education when they are young.
\n3.4 Bringing up by elder generation show more disadvantages
\nBringing up by elder generation means more chance to spoil the children. The popular situation is that children raised by grand-parents. In this way, there are more disadvantages than advantages. Grand-parents used the traditional view to teach their grand-sons or grand-daughters. The result of this will destroy the children. 4.Main problems in today\u2019s American family education
\n4.1 Indulgent type of family education
\nDifferent from Chinese family education, Ameirican indulgent type of family education had more harmful effection. Because over indulgent, it made a lot of social problems.Such as, teenage crime. In radio or TV, we sometimes can get a information that a 15-year-old boy shot his friend in the middle school.
\n4.2 lack of communication
\nAmerican think that every member in a family, he or she should had his or her own space. In their opinions, they can”t interfere each other even they are in a family. And when a person is 18 years old, he may leave his parents. It means his has little time to stay with their parents. So they has less resbosibility to their parents. But, in Chinese people\u2019eyes, it\u2019s no a good idea to leave their parents. It may lose the chances to communicate with each other.
\n4.3 pay too much attention on happy learning
\nAmerican take happy learning serious. But, in fact, happy learning is good
\nwhen children are young. Only pay attention to happy, parents may find that children\u2019s learning levels are declined. For example, some students who get used to happy learning, can\u2019t calculate without calculator.
\n5.The comparison of the family education\u2019s process between China and America From the results of the family education, we can find, in the process of family education, although it is not a kind of systematic education, it still has its educational aims, contents and methods, like the schools, which play an important role in the educational system. The aims of education are the most important ones which determine family education\u2019s contents and methods.
\n5.1 The comparison of the contents of family education
\nThe aim of education determines the content of education. \u201cThe contents of American family education are very plentiful. American parents pay attention to their children\u2019s all-round study.\u201d We called \u201cqualified education\u201d,which includes physical strength, cognition, social ability, emotion and so on. To enhance children\u2019s physical strength, children do outdoor exercises, such as, playing on a swing, hiking. On the development of cognition, parents train children\u2019s sense organs, enlarging their culture view and hobby. For example, when parents go to library for study or borrow some books, they always take their children with them. In this way, they can stimulate children\u2019s interest. On the development of social ability, children are required to enjoy themselves and share things with their friends. On the development of emotion, with the help of the parents, children learn to enjoy music, art or dancing etc.
\nAlthough the contents of Chinese family education are divided into morality, intelligence, physical, art etc. However, when the child at school age, intelligence is the most important. The contents of education become imbalance. In physical, Chinese parents pay more attention to children\u2019s nutrition, they make great effects to prevent their children from diseases. Compared with American parents, this kind of education is a protection which is defensible, static and passive. Greenhouse-training can train a person strong; On intelligence, children are given knowledge, skills, such as, the books that are full of knowledge and interesting things, at the same time, they learn the skills of reading, writing and counting.
\nWhen the children begin their school\u00a0education, family education are inclined to the tendency of school education: parents supervise children\u2019s study, check their homework, buy extracurricular exercises for the children. On art education, more and more parents realize the important professional skills. So they request children to learn drawing, dancing without children\u2019s willingness. It is a blind action, it may kill children\u2019s talent, even worse, they may pay a good deal of money and a lot of time but without good results. And doing this willgive too much pressure to children. By comparison, American family education\u2019s contents are substantial and scientific. On the contrary, Chinese family education\u2019s contents are narrow, limited and not scientific. For example, in Chinese family education, physical is less important than intelligence.
\nChinese parents pay more attention on children\u2019s health from which is the low-level content. Children ignore physical training, lack of outdoor exercises, stay at home to watch television. Then the number of getting adiposity become larger. Intelligence includes practical ability and latent capacity. Practical ability is what you know, what skills and knowledge you should master. Chinese family education always ignore skills, such as, living skill, working skill, communicative skill etc. American people take these skills seriously instead of ignoring them. In their opinion, these skills are the basic quality to stand on the social stage.
\nChinese family education ignore not only some practical abilities, but also latent capacities which are divided into study ability and creativity. Chinese parents seem to think highly of knowledge study, in fact, they only pay attention to the low-level knowledge which just can deal with school examinations. In a questionnaire called \u201chow to train teenagers\u2019 creative ability.\u201d There is a question , \u201cIf you find your children trying to take a clock apart, what will you do?\u201d 40% of parents will scold the children. 48% of parents will use a way without patience.From this questionnaire, we can find out Chinese parents\u2019 ideas of training creation should be improved.
\nBy comparison, American parents pay attention to children\u2019s multi-hobby and creation-consciousness training. Most American experts adviced that not to learn knowledge without comprehension study. When children come back home from school, Chinese parents always ask a question \u201cDo you remember what the teacher teach?\u201d or \u201cDo you get a good mark on today\u2019s test?\u201d Yet, American parents will ask \u201cDo you ask teacher some questions?\u201d or \u201cIs the lesson\u00a0interesting today?\u201d This present the different opinions on intelligence between Chinese parents and American parents. 5.2 The comparison of the aims of family education
\nFamily education\u2019s aims determine it\u2019s direction. So the aims of family education are the core, which is the basic reason of the different family education between Chinese and American. Family education\u2019s aim is to train a child with some characteristics through family education. Once the aim is determined, education contents and methods should be chosen according to the aims. So what\u2019s the different aims of Chinese family education and American family education, or we can say the different expectations of the parents in the two countries.
\nAmerican family education\u2019s aims are to train the child into a social man, who can deal with all kinds of events and own independent ability. It is not a high expectation. \u201cSocial man\u201d is not an utopia idea, but a requirement which is practical and easy to achieve. So American parents have a relaxed attitude to educate their children. They are good at finding out the active parts from their children\u2019s individuality. And the children can find their value from family education. In fact, this kind of education can achieve good results.
\nAccording to this aim, they can train their children\u2019s independent ability. Let\u2019s see American children in different periods. When they are still a baby, they sleep alone; When they can walk by themselves, they seldom ask parents for help; When they grow up, they own their rooms and they should clean the rooms by themselves; They do what they can do from childhood to make money. For example, they do house cleaning, be a baby sitter, send newspapers; When they go to senior middle school or university, they do part-time jobs to make money for the cost of living. By comparison, Chinese family education\u2019s aim is to train the child into a talent, who has a bright future. A bright future means to get a good job and to lead a simple life all their life time.
\nFirst, this aim is high and full of utility. It is hard to achieve, because \u201chaving a bright future\u201d is not an ordinary aim. Because of the aim, Chinese parents especially concern about children\u2019s study achievements. Their only requirement is that their children can concentrate all the attentions on study. At the same time, they ignore their children\u2019s extraordinary abilities, damage their imaginations. At the end, parents would kill the talents before the children\u00a0become qualified persons. Although Chinese children study very hard, and get good achievements. They lack of abilities to suit this society. Sometimes, parents\u2019 expectation would come to nothing.
\n5.3 The comparison of the methods of family education
\nThe methods of family education are the concrete measure of education contents. The choices of which education methods are connected closely to a nation\u2019s custom, culture and history. At the same time, it is restricted by education aims. Conversely, whether the parents can use the scientific education methods properly is connected to the realization of family education\u2019s aims and contents. Generally speaking, in American families, \u201cparents mainly use an equal way to educate their children.
\nThey respect children\u2019s personality and rights. Children, in the family, are treated as independent individuals. Parents and children are equal.\u201dBy comparison, Chinese family education\u2019s methods lack of equality. Chinese parents don\u2019t treat their children on the same level as themslves. Instead, parents stand for the elder generation and the children stand for younger generation. American parents advocate the open education:
\nFirst, they pay attention to practical training, emphasis on training children in practice instead of preaching. In American\u2019s opinion, if the children can do the work, let them do it. Through the process of doing the work, they can improve their recognition of things, accumulate experiences, master skills, enhance capacities, develop hobbies and consolidate self-confidence and responsibility. We can say, American parents give the key of the door to children instead of opening the door for the children.
\nSecond, American parents think play and game are very important. They think play is the most important thing when children are young. In American, children take part in all kinds of activities, do a lot of outdoor exercises. There are a lot of good places for them to do exercises. On the weekend, parents go out for tour with children. In the process of playing, the children develop their intelligence, such as imagination, judgement, communication with other people and emotion adjusting and so on.. Chinese parents advocate the close education:
\nFirst, they ignore the importance of practical training, instead they pay attention to preaching. The requirement to children is study. All the things, including what the children can do by themselves, are done by their parents. It is the reason why Chinese children learn a lot of knowledge but can hardly do anything when they enter the society. Second, they lack of outdoor exercises because Chinese children have endless homework. They live under the pressure of a lot of examinations. At the same time, they can\u2019t find a good place to do outdoor exercises. Because of different education types, American family education and Chinese family education show different methods. So, we can try to turn our close education into open education. American family education methods present in four aspects:
\nFirst, children have their right to speak, in other words, they can show their opinions on family affairs. American parents inspire their children to say what they want to say . Second, American children have right to choose, when the children start to show their ability to cognize things, they would like the children to choose by themselves. The children can choose games, books, friends, jobs and so on. American parents wouldn\u2019t put their opinions on their children. Most of the time, their role is to lead the children to choose, or they only stand behind the children, to give them confidence.
\nThird, American parents can make friends with their children, they can communicate on the base of equality. Fourth, American parents respect children\u2019s rights of privacy. Chinese family education methods also present in four aspects: First, children have less right to speak, that is to say, Chinese parents require their children to obey the rules, and have few different ideas. As the American president Nixon said \u201cThe task of Chinese education system is to train children into a person who is docile, completely listen to elder generation. In this way, they lose Chinese Darwin and Einstein.\u201d
\nSecond, Chinese children have limited right to choose and most of them would like to do things according to parents\u2019 willingness. Third, Chinese parents always appear with a image of authority so their status are higher than their children at home. Fourth, Chinese parents always destroy children\u2019s rights of privacy. For example , their school bags are searched; diaries are peeked. We can find that differet family education methods present in different aspects. American pay attention to the right\u00a0children own, but Chinese never think so. The democratic method of education which is a kind of loose and comfortable education, and presents a great deal of advantages: For one thing, it helps to train creative ideas. Loose and comfortable conditions are the most important to stimulate children\u2019s creativities.
\nUnder high pressure, children\u2019s creative ideas would be constrained. On the contrary, in a happy and calm family atmosphere, children can be stimulated easily. To produce a loose and comfortable atmosphere, parents should build a relationship equalled with children. For another, it helps to form healthy personality. Children would take part in family affairs actively, to express their own opinions, stop being afraid, and be full of self-confidence and responsibility if they are given the rights of speaking, attending and choosing. In addition, this kind of relation can inspire children to share their secrets to their parents. At the same time, parents can understand children\u2019s thoughts. It urges children to form a good personality. However, autocratic method of education presents a kind of restrained education, which constrains creation and the development of personality.
\n6.The comparison of the family education”s results between China and America Different results of education are due to different contents, aims and methods, which can be discovered after comparison . Generally speaking, American children show distinguishing features when they are very young. For example, they show great enthusiasm, keep calm when they run into troubles, get on well with other people, have great power and are full of new ideas, strong independent ability and social ability. Because they are independent from parents when they are 18, they are full of more confidence and courage.
\nFurther more, they should do part-time jobs to meet their needs of money. Having the idea of suiting market economy, they take part in money management, at the same time, they learn how to promote sales and communicate with customers. They realize money is not easily earned by all these kinds of practice. Thus, they get into a habit of thrift. In a word, the outstanding characteristics of American children are their great abilities and the adaption to the society smoothly. However, Chinese children, teenagers, even university students, who do well in their studies, show negative tendency in their characteristics. In more details, they\u00a0behave in a passive way, such as timid, having deep-rooted dependent mentality, lacking of the ability to communicate with other people.
\nEven worse, with poor independent viability, they can\u2019t deal with money in a proper way. In short, they are lack of the ability to adapt to the society. All of these characteristics, which can be found from Chinese children, are due to Chinese \u201cdiploma-education\u201d. Chinese parents expect their children to study hard in the school instead of taking part in the changeable society. Nowadays, what kind of the education results fits the society? Social development needs man\u2019s activity, creativity and humanity\u2019s liberation.
\nAs the civilization develops, more and more people need to focus on the development of humanity and the ability to do all kinds of things. So we can say today\u2019s society needs active and all-round talents. Obviously, American family education can train a child, who is full of creativity and capability, by comparison, Chinese family education only can produce a \u201ctalent\u201d, who is good at studying and obeying the rules. It is the result of \u201cexamination-center-education\u201d, which can do harm to our teenagers\u2019 body and mind. So Chinese family education needs a reform immediately.
\n7.The causes of family education\u2019s differences between China and America In modern society, parents take education seriously in Amreican the same as those in China. Why these two kinds of family education have so many differences? To sum up, the causes of different education are:
\n7.1 The different history backgrounds
\nAmerican, which is an emigrant country with a short history, has less old culture. Affected by multi-culture and multi-value, it can accept new thoughts and culture more quickly without restriction. So compared with Chinese people, they possess more adventure and creation sprits. However, China had a long history, at the same time, it reserves more old culture, especially is affected by feudal farmer\u2019s idea for a long period. Its culture value is conservative and cautious, which lacks of adventure spirits and creation consciousness. Chinese people are educated to be obedient, comparative and lack of an environment to accept new ideas on the whole.
\n7.2 The different economic patterns
\nAmerican productive force is advanced. Its commodity economy is flourishing. There are a lot of opportunity to get jobs. The pressure of living are limited. Moreover, The United States is a society of capabilities, where the system of is perfect, staff are free. And they have a lot of opportunities of changing a job. It means there are various of jobs for Americans to choose. In American parents\u2019 opinions if children can base themselves on the society, no matter the job is highly valued or not. Besides, commodity economy is changing in every minute, jobs are changing too. So parents never think their children can live a smooth life.
\nConsequently, American family education\u2019s aim is to focus on training children into \u201chuman\u201d It seems more macroscopic and wide-ranged. It meets all changes by remaining unchanged. By contrast, \u201cChina is a developing country. The pressure of living is great. China is a society of diplomas. Jobs are stable, so Chinese always put all their happiness on a job. Their choosing are limited. Chinese parents think good study achievement can bring a good job for their children. It is a smooth way of life, and it is also the best way for a person.\u201d Therefore, Chinese family education\u2019s aim is to focus on training children into \u201ctalents\u201d.
\n7.3 The different social conditions
\nAmerican have good economic conditions, perfect old-age social system. American parents don\u2019t have the idea that rearing children against old age. Instead, they think when they become old, they can go to old people\u2019s home to live the rest of their life. So they rear the children to 18 years old, who become independent persons, and they finish their jobs without considering what the children will be in the future. They don\u2019t care about whether the children will bring honor to them or not.
\nBy comparison, China, a nation which economic condition is poor, has incomplete social old-age system, and exists some old conception questions. Chinese parents consider that children\u2019s education is connected with the rest of their life. They treat the children as their own property, require children to pay back for them. And the thing that presents it in their ways is education. Many Chinese parents treat the thing of beating children as a personal affair. They think no one can interfere,let alone the law. 7.4 The different traditional cultures
\n7.4.1 Different value orientations
\nAmericans pay attention to personality, their value orientation is based on the individualism. They lay stress on their own benefits, advocate individual improvement and find their own true value. It is the core of American culture. An American scholar pointed out: In a democratic society, every citizen has his own goal, which is himself. In the family, individual is the most basic one, which is the valuable, independent from his family relation and doesn\u2019t depend on others. So in American family, parents used to treat themselves and their children as two separate individual. \u201cSelf\u201d doesn\u2019t only include parents themselves but the children selves. To carry out children\u2019s self-value, parents should respect children\u2019s willingness, interest and hobby first. But American parents attach importance to enjoying their life.
\nThey wouldn\u2019t give up to go to cinema because of the children. Chinese pay attention to general character. They have a conception, which is the most important. The conception is collective spirit. In other words, it means considering things as a whole. It emphasizes collective interest more important than individual interest. Chinese consider that a person is living in contrast with other people. From ancient time to the present, \u201cself\u201d, this conception results from contrast with other people, that is, individual value only can live with others\u2019 relations in Chinese society. In Chinese family, parents lose themselves at the same time, they don\u2019t respect their children.
\n\u201cThe way that Chinese parents lose themselves presents as following: they consider children as their own, as a continuation of themselves; their children seems to be their whole lives and hopes; they put all their hopes on their children. This kind of parents would use their determination to replace their children\u2019s.\u201d[10] P62 They think from adult\u2019s view. So we can find Chinese parents always set an impractical goal for their children. American pay attention to personality while Chinese pay attention to general character. It has its economic background. In the structure of modern capitalism, American\u2019s commodity economy defeated nature economy. And it exists for more than a hundred years. In the condition of commodity economy, individual is independent relatively. One person, if he wants to develop in the competition of commodity economy, he must improve himself.
\nTherefore, in the commodity economy society, people keep a tradition which is to value self the most important. By comparison,\u00a0Chinese\u2019s nature economy existed for thousands of years. Chinese are get used to tying on the land. Individuals lack of the condition of developing by themselves. Through dozens of years planned economy, even more than twenty years of market economy, Chinese can\u2019t get rid of the dependency. Individual\u2019s development often need other people\u2019s help. Even evaluating an individual is carried out by comparing with other persons. So Chinese like taking part in community, in order not to be isolated. \u548c
\nAmericans encourage rationalism. Their family education praise rationalism highly, which they treat as a basic principle to deal with family members and family affairs. Most of American parents consider the obligation of raising a child the same as the obligation to the society. It does stand not only in an individual position but the social position. In Americans\u2019 opinions family education is considered as an obligation, so Americans never want to get something back from their children. They consider that they ought to go to the old people\u2019s home. Of course, it is based on American perfect social security system and their culture.
\nChinese encourage affection which is considered to be the most important thing in Chinese society. Chinese family education, human relation is the base and emotion is the rule to deal with the relation of family. Chinese parents consider the children as their own private property, from the angle of their honor. Chinese parents take the greatest care of their children but with a conception of getting back something from their children. From this point of view, we can understand why more Chinese parents expect their children to be talented than American parents does. They put too much material gain in the aim of family education.
\n8 Suggestions
\nThis paper is comparing the vague generalization of family education between China and America. Chinese family education and American family education have their own characteristics. Furthermore, American family education has its disadvantage either. Apparently, the paper doesn\u2019t aim at denying American family education or Chinese family education. Through the comparison, this paper puts forward some suggestions that suit for Chinese family education.
\n8.1 For education aims: turn \u201ctalent\u201d education into\u00a0\u201chuman\u201d education. Through the comparison, we can find, American family education\u2019s aim more fits the development of society. At the same time, it can produce more creative persons. We can\u2019t deny, in Chinese examination education, we kill a lot of talents .If we want to change the situation, we need family education\u2019s help. Generally speaking ,as the enhance of social productive force, the society competition becomes more and more fierce. A person\u2019s comprehensive quality becomes more and more important. In fact, this comprehensive quality is the basic human education. Using human education as our family education\u2019s aim, Chinese will get rid of the mistaken ideas of family education.
\n8.2 For education contents: \u201cturn \u2018one-sided\u2019 family education into \u2018all-round\u2019 family education. Today\u2019s aim of family education is to teach intelligent knowledge. Because of the wrong aim, the intelligent education is the most important. This kind of education, will make children\u2019s quality development unbalanced so that they can\u2019t fit for this changeable society. After setting up \u201chuman\u201d education as our family education\u2019s aim, parents should improve children\u2019s comprehensive quality. If we want to improve children\u2019s comprehensive quality, we should turn one-sided family education into all-round family education, especially education of latent energy, morality and temper.
\n8.3 For education methods: turn \u201crestrained\u201d education into \u201cloose and comfortable\u201d education, turn \u201cclosed\u201d education into \u201copen\u201d education. Affected by Chinese culture, parents have more power than democracy. This kind of education is harmful for teenagers\u2019 mature. Modern society should advocate loose and comfortable education and open education. 8.4 To set up a conception of qualified education
\nNowadays, education reform\u2019s core is to improve education\u2019s quality. \u201cThe main aim of education is to teach children to learn from how to live to care other people then responsible for others.\u201d Concerning to family education, parents should set up a conception of qualified education. Qualified education is based on human\u2019s physiology and psychology, which has nature peculiarity. It is a kind of education that can train teenagers all-round development. Furthermore, its goal is to fit the needs of the society\u2019s development.
\nThrough qualified education, parents teach the youth playing, working and communicating which are the abilities a person should\u00a0own in modern society. Quality education aims to improve every aspect of quality a talent needs. It is not only a conception of qualified education but also a conception of value. Only when the parents set up the conception and use it as family education\u2019s guide, can the children get used to this society quickly and smoothly. 8.5 To turn sole education into multiple education
\nIn Chinese, many parents aim the goal of education on intellective education. So they ignore non-intellective education which concerns children\u2019s physiology health. Scientific family education should give first place to intellective education and in addition, take care of children\u2019s physiology, psychology, knowledge. Besides, parents not only teach the children knowledge of culture, which is necessary in a person\u2019s life, but teach other kinds of knowledge. Although to increasing knowledge of culture does good to intellective development, it is not sure it helps a lot.
\n8.6 To turn knowledge education into capability education
\nIn today\u2019s society, development of modern science has put training ability in a higher position than teaching knowledge. Family education demands the parents not only to give children food but the skills to get food. Chinese should change the method which focuses on the knowledge, turn knowledge education into capability education. Ability is the intelligence that people finish a task or achieve their goals It is the result of psychology condition and physiology condition. It includes intelligence skill system, motivation structure system and operating skill system. These three systems connect with each other and inspire one by one. A person\u2019s development level depends on the whole ability system which is formed by them.
\n8.7 To use scientific mode of family education to speed the refrom of family education
\n8.7.1 Creative type of education
\n\u201c This kind of education pays close attention to the development of children\u2019s latent energy, which fixes eyes upon the use and training of intelligence.

These abilities connect with each other and restrict each other. They are always considered as a whole. So intelligent education depends on all of the abilities mentioned above.
\n8.7.2 Successful type of education
\nIt aims at creating the condition of success. It requires children to grasp the opportunities of success. It also requires children to hold the opportunities of success. In this way, children can improve self-confidence.
