From ancient times till now, family education has been playing an important role in the national education system. What is known to us is that family, as a part of society, is the first place that children receive education and the first place that the children get in touch with the society. In this place, parents are the first teacher for their children and their traditional values have important effects on children’s growth. Education is a highly complicated process which is connected with families, schools and society throughout his whole life. Moreover, family education is not only the way that parents or grandparents educate their children in family, but all the family members educate each other.

2. Literature Review
2.1 Li Xin and the Differences of Family Education between China and America from the Perspective of Culture
Li Xin thinks that education is a social activity to cultivate talents, the basic approach to inherit the social culture, production experiences and social experience. Meanwhile the family education is the most important part of the whole educational system. In his paper, he finds that group awareness and inpidualism, compliance and independence, and the values of fame and fortune cause the different values of children rearing, different methods of training, and different results of training. What’s more, he apples to Chinese parents to use the advanced education concepts of America for reference and know the importance of cultivating the children’s self-confidence and creativity.
Firstly, Chinese think that the collective is more important than the inpidual and if a person leaves the group ,he would not adapt to the society. However, American emphasize that the inpidual is more important than the collective and the group should meet the legal requirements of the inpidual. Secondly, in Chinese family, the parents are regarded as the authorities and they play a dominant role in their family. They think that their children should obey their requirement and parents can arrange the children’s life without the children’s agreements. On the contrary, parents pay more attention to developing children’s independence, self-confidence and the spirit of exploration in American family. Thirdly, influenced by the traditional value that a good scholar will make an official, Chinese purse more fame than the fortune. Especially in the country, parents hope that their children can work hard to uphold honor to the family. Conversely, American think that the fortune is more important than the fame and like to pursue the best possible results.
