About Family Education 2.1 The characteristics of family education The family is the first as well as the last
14、 school of mankind. Everyone is receiving education and participating in education activities, consciously or unconsciously during his whole life. Family education influences individuals most profoundly and lasts the longest. Unlike the ordinary school which is an educational institution, the family
15、 is a “special school”； therefore, family education has its own characteristics. 2.2 The aims of family education Family education aims to: First, help children understand life and society, enrich their experience and lay the foundation of their future independent life , or , to be more specific, ma

21、 American Family Education 3.1 A comparison between family education results Different education aims, contents and methods may lead to different results. We can catch a glimpse from the results of the two countries family education. Generally speaking, the characters of A American children and teen
