11、 family education should not be replaced by school and social education. when our children were born they had been in the atmosphere of family education, generally speaking it indicates that behaviors of criticism, guidance, cultivation and administration by our parents. it plays an important role n

12、ot only in modeling values but also cultivate a unique nationalism to our children. for instance, chinese culture attaches importance to the harmony between human and nature but westerners pay more attention to overcome the nature by them. the family education between china and american exist a sign

17、 culture. through the comparison of education between china an america analyses the distinction between two countries in cross-culture communication.1. family education.at present, the majority of family educational expert consider that family education can be divided in narrow and broad sense. gene

18、ralized family education indicates that family members teach each other in their daily life. in a narrow sense, it indicates that the elder members (especially for parents) of a family teach younger in their daily life. family education as one part of family, school and society education has an irre

19、placeable meaning to other two educations. family education is not only attaching importance to the health of children, but also their mental health which makes them more adaptable to competitive society in the future. more often than not, education is also an interaction between children and parent

20、s which means that they both be educated during the process of it.1.1 different concept of family education.as parents have an inborn love to their kids which is the common love both for chinese and american parents. the only difference is that the expression of them is absolutely different. in our

21、country, its deniable that we belong to our parents and should conform to our parents whether they are right or wrong. in united states, children are regarded as an individual who belong to themselves and have their own favorite, option, private and friends circle. in china, parents have infinite re

22、sponsibility for caring for their children. when their children were born to grow up, they almost undertake the whole thing for their kids such as cooking the meal ,doing the laundry , cleaning the room and spending their weekend holiday to accompany them studying. but chinese parents are willing to

23、 do all these thing for their own children who are give the hope of finding a good job and living happily in the future by their parents. in united states, parents have limited responsibility for caring for their children. and they will not to do all things for their children but kids should underta

24、ke some household chores such as setting the table, cleaning their own clothes and trimming lawns. children can find a part-time job or help their parents to do household chores to earn the money. what is the limited responsibility of american parents for educating their children? first, they want t

25、o make their kids to know their own value. second, they want to make their kids to know how to control themselves. third, they need to teach their kids enough sexual knowledge to make them manage easily when they have physiological change. fourth, they need to teach their children a whole set of soc

26、ial norm to get on in the world.1.2different concept of dealing with affairs in family education.american children can be optimistic when facing difficulties, have strong curiosity, willing to try unknown things, can bear the hardship and like to put on their thinking cap. on the contrary, chinese c

27、hildren are always hesitate when facing difficulties, lack of interest, dare to try something unknown things, unable to bear hardship and unwilling to put on their thinking cap. what is the reason of it? the different means of family education between china and america result in it. first, american

28、parents prefer to encourage their kids than to protection but chinese parents are opposite to it. american parents encourage children try every kinds of activities. they believe that kids can learn, practice, cultivate the ability and interest and the utmost is that can establish self-confidence. ch

29、inese parents excessively protect their children which make them rely on their parents and distrust or lose the understanding and evaluation of self-worth and ability. parents afraid of their kids being hurt or deceived and consider a lot things are dangerous and dirty so that they do not allow thei

30、r kids to do that. second, american parents prefer to lead their children to a right direction that to inculcation. american parents always say to their children: “i believe.will be better”, “my suggestion is .do you like to listen my opinion?” but chinese parents always say to their kids: “listen t

31、o me; you are too young to make a choice.” “i have been told you to do this way, why do not you listen to my words?” or “look! if you accept my opinion you should have not done this stupid thing! ”. third, the requirement of american parents for their children is comprehensive but chinese parents on

32、ly require their kids to have good test score. fourth, chinese parents usually say: “you are too stupid to solve this problem.” , “ mike is better than you in study.” , “ i have been taught you for so many times but you still can solve it!” which tend to influence and even break down the confidence

33、of children. this kind of situation seldom happened in american family.2. comparison of family education between china and america.education is an activity of cultivating people, inheritance of social culture, transfer of production experience and the primary approach of life experience. family educ

34、ation indicates that the elder and parents unconsciously or consciously educate their children of the family. the aim of family education can be separated to two parts as follow:first, the function of family education is that ensure the physical and psychological health of children can be well devel

35、oped and make a good preparation for their kids school education.second, its helpful for children develop well in moral, intelligent, and physical ability for children match up school education.nowadays, not only the school education should be valued but also more and more parents attach importance

36、to family education. the position and function of family education between china and america is different from each other. there are some causes of resulting in the different culture between to countries as follow:2.1the feature of chinese family education.first, chinese parents usually charge of wh

37、ole things of their kids to make them have enough time to study. especially for those parents who have only child provide them anything what their kids need. there is also a new phenomenon that we can see most of elementary school students have mobile phones, digital camera, mp5 which are top grade

38、consumer goods. its detrimental to develop childrens independent ability and imperceptibly make them spend freely on money which given by their parents. a lot of chinese parents only pay attention to their kids basic necessities of life but not their inner mind which easily make them have mental or

39、moral character problems. in the meantime, its easy to make their kids have personality defect and lose ability of living all by themselves. therefore, this kind of education is absolutely unreasonable and lack short of scientific.second, the matters of family education one-sided emphasize test scor

40、e. chinese parents only attach importance to intelligent development of their kids but seldom evenly conduct the education of morality, intelligence, physique and art to their children. so that its the main cause of uneven in development of chinese students integral ability. we also see a phenomenon

41、 that a lot of only children are high intelligent, vulnerable and sensitive. but in the fields of developing intelligence of children, chinese parents only care for their result of ability of memory, comprehension and computational problem. on the contrary, innovation-oriented society is pressed for

42、 practical ability and creative ability.third, chinese parents always regard their kids as private property. they are concerned more about face-saving than their kids. they deserve their kids are their own and have right to control the childrens behavior. when their kids betray their orders, they al

43、so use their dignity or effect violence to their children but do not know it is illegal. they believe the concept of family education needs violence sometime to their naughty behavior. furthermore, chinese parents also think if they love their kids, whatever methods of expression, the kids should ac

44、cept it and unconditional comply with it. as the times passes, the children would not like to communicate with their parents who will not be told by their kids when they have something mental problems. it affluence the kids mental health and is difficult to form a harmonious family relationships. 2.

45、2the feature of american family education.first, american parents lay emphasis on cultivating equal consciousness. american parents always like to provide ample opportunities for their kids to perform themselves in daily life regardless of whether the result is successful or failure; they often appr

46、ove their ability and praise them. the children who grown up in this kind of relax environment are active, innovative and confident. but american parents will not neglect any shortcomings of their kids who are told “they should correct their fault when the find it out immediately” by their parents.

47、sometimes american parents also punish their children when they do some mistakes. but it mainly depends on the foundation of respecting childrens self-respect and they do not use any insulting words to humiliate them.second, american parents pay more attention to cultivate independent consciousness

48、and hardship spirit to their children. when their kids were born, they usually try every means to provide opportunities or conditions to train their kids to make them full trained in every condition. it is never be heard of some american children sleeping with their parents when they are baby who ne

49、ed to sleep in a small bed alone and grow up to older they will have their own room to sleep. large quantities of american parents support their kids to take a part-time job which can practice their capability of independent living. in united states, most of adolescents aged eighteen earn money by p

50、art-time job to pay the sky high college tuition. from children to adolescent in western countries take part-time job develop their hardship spirit. the average incomes of united states families are dozens of time to ceehina, but american parents have a strict limit and requirement for giving pin mo

51、ney to their kids. a survey conclude that fifty four percent of american adolescent students do not have pin money which given by their parents and the more elder will not have chance to get it form parents.third, american parents lay emphasis on creative ability of their kids. american parents almo

52、st will not inflict more pressure to their kids in studying and think they are willing to learn if are interest in certain knowledge. it will hurt kids emotion and personality if they force them to do what they do not want to do. american parents do not make their children to recite a large quantity

53、 of formula and theorem mechanically but eagerly teach them how to solve the difficulties and find out the ways of looking for an answer when they face an unfamiliar field. they also try all their best to affirm any effort of their kids and praise every answer of childrens thinking to protect and st

54、imulate whole creative desire and trials. what they want to do which is usually is supported by their parents who make them to be a man who they are.2.3the direction of evaluation for children.chinese parents like to compare their children with others by horizontal comparison. the range of compariso

55、n with other children stretches from wide to narrow ones. they also like their children to attend kinds of training classes such as piano, violin, handwriting, painting etc. chinese children always are taken by their parents to participate in all sorts of competitions for satisfying vanity of their

56、parents which reflect their results of cultivation. chinese parents also like to tell children others are better than them aim to encourage them to do more hard work for catching up with others. they often regard children as a lower grade and set higher goals to them. because they think it must be s

57、omeone do better than their children who engender them feel themselves inferior to others. if their children object to them, they will prone to tell the doctrine to their kids to suppress the thoughts of the children. on the contrary, american parents attach importance to longitudinal development of

58、 their children and seldom compare them with other children. the method of family education is usually reward more than punishment to their children , “you are great”（你真棒）is the common words of american parents to encourage children. the ways of it is accordance with “appreciative teaching”（赏识教育） which recommended today. ”you dont need to be a famous man but not an inferior one, just be a normal guy as who you are.” which advocated by “appreciative teaching”. therefore, american children have stronger
