In recent years , with qualit
2、y education attached great importance to ,family education has become a hot topic of social concern . There are obvious differences in family education between China and Western countries . For China and the United States , different concepts of education and the ways of educating , resulted in the
3、obvious difference when their children has grown up . The article attempts to analyze the differences in Chinese and Western family education , and the causes of forming the differences . Besides , it provides a conducive family educational recommendations.Key words Family education Ways of educatin
4、g Values DifferencesIntroduction. Family education indicates the influence to the development of children in the process of communicating between parents and a child . It is also the most important one among all the ways of education . In view of many differences in culture , economy , family backgr
5、ound , educated ways , hence it results in the obvious difference in family education between China and Western countries . To recognize the fact correctly will promote the development of family education in our country . For Chinese families , what they focus on is “ order ” and “ obedience ” , whi
6、le they pay attention to “ fairness ” and “ freedom ” in West .Chinese parents are dominators who control their children , thus what the children only do is to accept all the arranged things submissively . Parents always decide their childrens natural development . Consequently , they have deprived
7、of free agency of children . However , in Western countries , parents often focus on childrens decision-making power .Under the permitted circumstances by society , children is allowed the problem they have met . familys ways of educating . On studying Chinese parents pay a special attention to thei
8、r children s achievement in learning . No matter what their children want , they will satisfy childrens all the needs only is children can get a perfect performance in examination . Therefore , in daily life ,children are demanded to reading , practice and learning . As a result , their genius are i
9、gnored . Parents limit childrens creativity .Consequently , in order to cultivate the so-called genius but snuff out a real genius . Besides ,Chinese family education , the inculcated education which asks children to recite some experienced knowledge without any comprehension . Thus it leads to kill
10、 the childrens imagination and creativity .At the same time ,Chinese children is lacking of operating by hand . On life At first , what most of Chinese parents is always thinking is how to protect their own child , when his child quarrels even fights with others .Even if they know their children hav
11、e made a mistake , they still try to have their children got rid of the responsibility . Under this condition ,the conflicts is often raised between the two sides of parents . Besides , in China , it is the common fact that parents help their children wash clothes , make a bed ,etc . They even want
12、to help their children resolve any problems that their children have faced . They dote their children and afraid them being suffered and tired . Finally , many parents will satisfy their children any economic needs , without hesitation and limits , even if the family is poor , let alone what the ric
13、h do . As a result , children have no awareness of saving money in life , because they think it can be acquired easily . Day by day , children take it for granted that their parents give them money forever and without any requirements . I had ever seen a news “ It is said that a son killed his mothe
14、r , only because the mother didnt give him enough money to play net games .” What a astonished news ! We can see some educational problems from it that spoil will eventuall lead to bitter fruit . On the relationship between children and parents In china , parents always say something like these , “
15、You must , You have to , You should ” . In their views , children is their private property . They can treat their children in any way what they want to take . Besides , children have few access to communicate with their parents . At the same time , as children afraid their parents , little by littl
16、e , reverse psychology appeared . Thus may make children develop themselves under the condition of departing the normal orbit . Based on the two points I have mentioned , a gap have emerged between parents and children . Children arent willing to tell their true thought to their parents . Actually s
17、peaking , it is bad for childrens development . families ways of educating. On studyingIn Western countries , parents focus on that children can “ realize ” knowledge by thinking . So they encourage their children to find something new , to operate , to dare to bring forward questions . When foreign
18、 teachers have classes , they often say “ Questions Any questions I like questions ” In fact ,parents is also like teachers . They rouse childrens imagination and creativities . They allow their children query and challenge the knowledge in the book . So most of western children think actively , ope
19、rate masterly. On life Western countries advocate a independent life , parents think it is the most important for children to cultivate the ability of independent , and children are asked to make a decision by themselves without parent involving . Besides , parents give their children money regularl
20、y . In addition , they encourage their children to do some part-time jobs . In order to cultivate strong quality of hard-working , children would rather be suffered rather than be coddled . Moreover , parents educate their children to donate and save money . On relationship between parents and child
21、ren In western families , children often call their parents name directly . They wouldnt be blamed because there is a democratic equal relationship between parents and children . Few parents compel their children to obey their thoughts . They wont ask their children to lead a life according to their
22、 way of life . What I have just mentioned is good for children to communicate with their parents . Children and parents , think each other as friends . families values of educating In China , parents ask their children to go to school in order that their children can make a living . In parents opini
23、on , degree is the most important . Children must be educated in a serious way and get a good performance . Only in this way can they get the degree , thereby obtaining a decent job . If their children do good in studying , parents will hold their head high and lift up their horn . Parents tell thei
24、r children to combine their own interest with their familys interest . Therefore , for a child ,to go to school is not only for the sake of themselves , but also the whole familys . Children should assume the responsibility to get a decent job for familys face . Whats more ,in China , parents from d
25、ifferent families always like comparing their children . Parents often take their own childrens advantages to compare other childrens disadvantages , thereby achieving to comfort themselves . Parents also chat about childrens grade . “ whose child is the first whose child is admitted to a famous uni
26、versity ” Parents will feel lose face if their children have poor learning performance. families values of educating . In Western countries , parents teach their children how to survive in the competitive society . Children learn knowledge ,without utilitarianism , and they just learn something that
27、 they are interested . In western parents views ,one persons ability is the most important in all learning . They focus on that childrens comprehensive quality should be cultivated .Therefore , for a child , to occupy enough abilities is much more important than to learn knowledge . Whats more , in
28、western families ,individual interest is separated with the whole familys . They attach importance to individual freedom and power . cause of forming the difference . The different background of economics. For China ,on one hand, backward economics , pressured survival , a “ Degree of social ” whose
29、 the mobility of industry is not very good . As a result , Chinese often want to devote their whole life to the one job . On the other hand , social pension insurance in China is not perfect . Parents consider their children education from the perspective of personal pension . However , in western c
30、ountries , especially the United States , the advanced productive forces , developed economic , small pressure on the survival . Whats more , America is a “ Ability of social ” . It has sound employment mechanism , and the mobility of industry is good .Economic conditions are good ,sound endowment i
31、nsurance ,parents do not think raising children is to support them . They have no worries , as long as the child is 18 years old , and became an person who has responsibility and compassion , the parents have fulfilled their obligations . The different background of history culture. China has a long
32、 history which influence Chinese generations , especially the feudal consciousness in the feudal society . People is often conservative and they afraid of adventure . “ deference ” and “ obedience ” are the symbol of “ good child ” .It leads part of children to have contorted their thought . By contrast , western countries , like America , has a short history . Few old thought is kept , under the influence of the multi-cultural , and ideological values , they can accept the new things quickly . In addition , they have the spirit of adventure and innovati
