2、untries . For China and the United States , different concepts of education and the ways of educating , resulted in the 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 differ
3、ences . Besides , it provides a conducive family educational recommendations.Key words Family education Ways of educating 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 t
4、he most important one among all the ways of education . In view of many differences in culture , economy , family background , 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 develop
5、ment of family education in our country . For Chinese families , what they focus on is “ order ” and “ obedience ” , while 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 arran
6、ged things submissively . Parents always decide their childrens natural development . Consequently , they have deprived 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 all
7、owed the problem they have met . 1.Chinese familys ways of educating .1.1 On studying Chinese parents pay a special attention to their 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
8、 examination . Therefore , in daily life ,children are demanded to reading , practice and learning . As a result , their genius are ignored . Parents limit childrens creativity .Consequently , in order to cultivate the so-called genius but snuff out a real genius . Besides ,Chinese family education
9、, the inculcated education which asks children to recite some experienced knowledge without any comprehension . Thus it leads to kill the childrens imagination and creativity .At the same time ,Chinese children is lacking of operating by hand .1.2 On life At first , what most of Chinese parents is a
10、lways thinking is how to protect their own child , when his child quarrels even fights with others .Even if they know their children have 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 o
11、f parents . Besides , in China , it is the common fact that parents help their children wash clothes , make a bed ,etc . They even want 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 pare
12、nts will satisfy their children any economic needs , without hesitation and limits , even if the family is poor , let alone what the rich 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 t
13、hat their parents give them money forever and without any requirements . I had ever seen a news “ It is said that a son killed his mother , 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 e
14、ventuall lead to bitter fruit .1.3 On the relationship between children and parents In china , parents always say something like these , “ 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 . B
15、esides , children have few access to communicate with their parents . At the same time , as children afraid their parents , little by little , reverse psychology appeared . Thus may make children develop themselves under the condition of departing the normal orbit . Based on the two points I have me
16、ntioned , a gap have emerged between parents and children . Children arent willing to tell their true thought to their parents . Actually speaking , it is bad for childrens development .2.Western families ways of educating.2.1 On studyingIn Western countries , parents focus on that children can “ re
17、alize ” knowledge by thinking . So they encourage their children to find something new , to operate , to dare to bring forward questions . When foreign teachers have classes , they often say “ Questions ? Any questions ? I like questions ” In fact ,parents is also like teachers . They rouse children
18、s imagination and creativities . They allow their children query and challenge the knowledge in the book . So most of western children think actively , operate masterly.2.2 On life Western countries advocate a independent life , parents think it is the most important for children to cultivate the ab
19、ility of independent , and children are asked to make a decision by themselves without parent involving . Besides , parents give their children money regularly . In addition , they encourage their children to do some part-time jobs . In order to cultivate strong quality of hard-working , children wo
20、uld rather be suffered rather than be coddled . Moreover , parents educate their children to donate and save money .2.3 On relationship between parents and children In western families , children often call their parents name directly . They wouldnt be blamed because there is a democratic equal rela
21、tionship 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 way of life . What I have just mentioned is good for children to communicate with their parents . Children and parents , think each other
22、as friends . 3.Chinese 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 opinion , degree is the most important . Children must be educated in a serious way and get a good performance . Only in this way can
23、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 their children to combine their own interest with their familys interest . Therefore , for a child ,to go to school is not only for t
24、he 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 different families always like comparing their children . Parents often take their own childrens advantages to compare other child
25、rens disadvantages , thereby achieving to comfort themselves . Parents also chat about childrens grade . “ whose child is the first ? whose child is admitted to a famous university ? ” Parents will feel lose face if their children have poor learning performance.4.Western families values of educating
26、 . 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 they are interested . In western parents views ,one persons ability is the most important in all learning . They fo
27、cus 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 western families ,individual interest is separated with the whole familys . They attach importance to individual fre
28、edom and power .5.The cause of forming the difference .5.1 The different background of economics. For China ,on one hand, backward economics , pressured survival , a “ Degree of social ” whose the mobility of industry is not very good . As a result , Chinese often want to devote their whole life to
29、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 countries , especially the United States , the advanced productive forces , developed economic , small pressu
30、re 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 insurance ,parents do not think raising children is to support them . They have no worries , as long as the c
31、hild is 18 years old , and became an person who has responsibility and compassion , the parents have fulfilled their obligations . 5.2 The different background of history culture. China has a long history which influence Chinese generations , especially the feudal consciousness in the feudal society
32、 . 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
