8、 key to development of talents .Family education is not only an important component of education but also the first lesson to a child which will be remember forever. Family education has a direct influence on the qualities of talents.Nowdays international competition is becoming fierce ,and it is a
9、competition for the talents fundamentally. so ,every country should pay more attention to family education in the education projects.However, there are many problems in our education concepts even from education system. Maybe some people usually think schools and teachers should be responsible for t
10、hese problems which appeared in education in recent years .If schools and teachers are to be blamed ,but their parents are more to be blamed .In order to find a more scientific way to educate our children .We should learn other countries experiences ,Eventhough they are all kinds of family education
11、 in the world ,but American family education is the most famous one .So it is necessary to make a comparison of the differences of family education between American and China.This thesis is to comparing American family education and Chinese education superficially, which may offer some good suggesti
12、ons to family education.1. Two Concepts of Family Education1.1. American Family EducationIn America, parents aims are to train their children to have the ability of adapting to environmental variety and the ability of living independently. Based on this concept, most American parents emphasize more
13、to train their childrens ability of independence once they are born. They generally believe that childrens growth must rely on their own experiences, because they think that children should form a self-supporting will and the capacity to live independently since their childhood. And the capacity com
14、es from the training in the early age. The so-called training contains many aspects, such as work, temper will, patience, the spirit of hard work, etc. However, the most fundamental training is the ability of adapting to hard conditions. Through the process of work, children will form the labor sens
15、e, learn some work skills and form a habit of labor. Besides, children can learn how to overcome difficulties, temper their willpower, develop their talents and skills, rich their knowledge, and form a habit of hard work and thrifty by working in hard conditions. It is just in the unconsciously proc
16、ess that children will obtain the independent survivability and take the responsibilities for the society.1.2. Chinese Family EducationCompared with American, Chinese parents have a very different concept of childrens education. Some parents in China only care about whether the children have a promi
17、sing future, a good job, a good life or not. Based on these expectations, the majority of parents feel that their responsibility for their children is to create as good conditions as possible they can so that the children will not worry about anything in the future.2. Two Different Ways of Family Ed
18、ucation2.1. Differences in Cultivation of Childrens IndependenceBecause of a fundamental difference on parental concept, there are two completely different ways on cultivating their own childrens independence.First and foremost, Chinese family education and American family education vary in the atti
19、tude towards independence. Most American parents think that the child is an independent individual since he is born, who has his own will and characteristic. Neither the parents nor teachers have priorities to determine and restrict their childrens behaviors. The Declaration of Independence says: “A
20、ll the people are born equally; they are endowed with holy rights including life, freedom and pursuit of happiness. In order to let the children recognize that they are the masters of themselves, American parents will give their children enough freedom and will not make decisions for them in most ca
21、ses. American parents are willing to respect and understand their childrens feelings, thus, they always think carefully about their words and choose the appropriate time to educate their children. The famous basketball star, Michael Jordan once said, “I admit that our children will inherit some good
22、 traditions, but I dont think we should make rules to teach them what they can do, because I think even if they do, they will not be happy. His words may represent the thoughts and attitude of most American people in family education.In order to cultivate the childrens ability to enjoy independent l
23、ife, American parents take the measures as follows. Firstly, they try to give them enough opportunities and conditions which allow them to be fully trained in various settings since they were born. The common way the parents used is to let the children do some self-service work according to children
24、s ability in different ages, because this method will develop their childrens love of working and talents. For example, “There are three children, which are primary school students, in an American family. All of them have their own roles and abilities. The10 year -old boy helped his father to mow, w
25、ater flowers and clean court; the 8-year-old little girl can weave cup mat in various colors.” This is the result of practices from their childhood. It is not an isolated phenomenon in America. This kind of examples, such as primary and middle school students doing part-time job, are too numerous to
26、 cite. According to the America Newspaper Stands Selling Federations convey, there are thousands of newsboys in America. The phenomenon of elder students working in society can be seen here and there, and they are supported by their parents. An American said: “ parents should encourage their childre
27、n to work and earn money in their free time, this will save some expenses, and more importantly, it will develop childrens self-awareness at an early age.” Children will understand the meaning of treasure and know that treasure can only be gained through working, and then, they will know why we shou
28、ld cultivate saving and other good habits.Secondly, American parents would like to see their children experience all kinds of difficulties rather than to live in an over- comfortable environment. They pay great attention to train their childrens mental ability so that the children can face all kinds
29、 of setbacks and can survive hard circumstances. So, we can see the following example, in a cold winter morning, the American children get up to deliver newspapers while our children are still sleeping in the warm blanket. Many Chinese parents probably think that it is unacceptable, or even think th
30、at is “cruel” to children. Thirdly, American parents have requirements and regulations on childrens pocket money, although their economic conditions are better than the majority of Chinese families. How much money they should give their children as pocket money depends on childrens ages and actual d
31、emands and the income of the family. What American parents do is to cultivate childrens awareness of frugality. Moreover, they do not award their children by giving them pocket money, and they let their children understand that the purpose of study is to help them to become a valuable person in the
32、future. According to a survey, it is found that “About 54 percent young students have no pocket money in America, and there are fewer chances to get money from their parents as their ages increase. It is also found that 68 percent American students earn pocket money through doing part-time job in th
33、eir spare time. Rockefeller was one of the richest men in the United States and the first man earned one billion dollars in the world, but his children have little pocket money according to the regulations which printed on the title page in his family book. “The pocket money of the 7-8years old chil
34、dren is 30 cents per week; that of the 11-12years old children is one dollar per week; that of the over 12 years old is three dollars per week. The most important thing is that the children were asked to record every expenditure. If the account is clear and their expenditure is used for legitimate p
35、urpose, they will receive additional 5 cents in the next week. Rockefeller said: Too much wealth will bring disaster to their generation. ” His words contains a profound philosophy, it is worth of thinking carefully. 2.2Differences in the Cultivation of Childrens InterestsIn the United States, child
36、ren are encouraged and induced to develop their interest and do the things what they are interested in. American parents will not prevent their children from doing what they like to do, and they will not enforce their children to do what they do not like either. For instance, Jefferson, a fifteen-ye
37、ar-old child of a common family, likes to play basketball, I wanted to make him become a lawyer, but he became interested in playing ball when he was young. We dont like him to give up his study, but after a long talk with him, I felt that he had his own idea of life, perhaps he should become indepe
38、ndent, and so I gave up my mind.” His father said. Maybe at the beginning the parents have requirements for their children, but at last their own choices are the most important, in United States.But in China, many parents never consider or respect their childrens interests. Because of historical and
39、 traditional reason, almost everyone thinks that scholars should be respected without any doubts and have high status in the society. So they pay great attention on their childrens studies because they believe that knowledge can change ones fate. In fact, scholars are respected by people in most tim
40、e. Hence, the parents hope that their children can obtain the same honor like the scholars in the future. Without thinking carefully and researching, we can conclude from practices in daily life that some Chinese parents, if not many, have been strangling their childrens interests in a way that is e
41、lusive to American. To be concrete, under the current Chinese family education, most children are arranged with assorted extracurricular classes where they are taught to learn playing piano, drawing, singing, etc., partly because parents wish their children to develop in all-round way and have a hea
42、d-start in studies than other children. The fact, however, is that children may show the least interest in these classes that seem dull and boring in their minds. In this way, children are deprived of the freedom to dip into things what they are interested in and children are bereft of ebullience an
43、d creativity in studying. We also can find that Chinese parents do not care about childrens interests from a survey. According to the survey made by Womens Federation of Tangshan Municipal, in Hebei province, we find that “About 10 percents parents absolutely agree that everything is not important i
44、f their children study well. And most parents agree this view thoroughly. There is only 27 percents of parents do not think so. As for the other opinions, that the children have a healthy body and a good spirit is more important than study well, only 5 percents of parents agree with it completely, b
45、ut there are more than 32 percents of parents said they dont agree with it completely.” All of these reflect that most Chinese parents are more concern about childrens study than their interests. In other words, most Chinese parents do not care about their childrens interest.2.3 Differences in the c
46、ultivation of childrens value In china our parents hope their children become a rich man or a great man ,when they grow up .In their opinion these people regarded as the symbol of success and can win respect from others so during the process of their childrens growth they always require their childr
47、en do the things that may beyond their ability or against their dream. So many children are eager to be attend top university and neglect their origin ideas .However American parents always respect their children own ideas ,no matter whoever he or she will be in the future ,they usually hope their children can live freely .they dont concered about whether their children future would be but offer the best environment for their children to live independently and can face various challenges 2.4 Differences in Cultivation of Childrens CreativityAs for cultivating children
