中美家庭教育(英文)

Different Social Conditions
• So far, Social security system and old-age care have not been perfect in China. Many Chinese parents take their children as their private possession in order to receive the children’s return, which is reflected in the methods of education. For this reason, their children’s high scores have become their origin of pride. • But in America, there is a prosper development of economy and sane social security system, so American parents don’t count on their children’s support. They see educating child to be an independent, conscientious and kind-hearted processing.
Different Economic Forms
China: developing country backward economy emphasizing degree (学历社会) US: developed country advanced economy emphasizing ability (能力社会)
Chinese parents attach great importance to the children’ s future. They often design a future for children, no matter they like it or not. Parents always spare no efforts to provide children with a more favorable growing and educating environment. They believe that everything they’ve done deserves if their children get a better future. American parents pay much attention to train their children’ s independent ability. They provide children with more freedom, and inspire them to develop themselves through experiences. In a word, the largest expectation of American parents is to encourage their children to be a “social man”. “Social man ” is a requirement which is practical and easy to achieve.
• (3) In China, education for all-round development should be vigorously advocated and implemented effectively. • (4) Much can be learned from each other on ways of family education for America and China.
Difference in Teaching Method
• China:China is often no more than the mode of “Teaching by holding his hand”.Chinese parents prefer to directly telling children the results, rather than show the process. • America:American parents pay attention to practical training, emphasis on training children in practice instead of preaching. Their methods aim to cultivate children’ s self-study ability and creative spirit .
Personality is emphasized by Americans, so they pursue individualism, concern for their own benefits, and try to realize their own value of lives. However, Chinese people think highly of collectivism, and they always put the group’s benefits into priority.

Thank you
Americans’ family education is based on the rationalism, many American parents regard their duties of raising their children as the duties to society. Their education is not oriented to their own benefits. While in China, the family education is based on the human relations and ethics, which is more emotional. In the family education, the parents expect the reward from their children when old. And they give their children special and numerous love.
